He stopped me in nearness, and said to me: Nothing is further away from me than any other thing Nor is anything nearer to me
Except inasmuch as I place it
In nearness or farness.
Then he told me:
Farness is known by nearness And nearness through ecstasy!
Then he told me:
The lowest rung on the scale of knowing nearness Is that in all things
You glimpse some trace of my gaze.
Then he told me:
My farness is something you don’t know My nearness is something you don’t know Just as you don’t know my real attributes For what they really are.
And I am both near and far away, According to a nearness that is farness too And a farness that is nearness.
Then he told me:
The nearness you know is farness,
The farness you know is distance
But I am both near and far away, for me there is no distance.
Then he told me:
You find me, but don’t really find me, That’s what farness is.You describe me
Without apprehending me from the description That’s what farness is.
Then he told me:
You see yourself
Yet I’m nearer to you than your own vision of yourself That’s what farness really is.
