Seeing yourself - at last – so beautiful: <br />cease, at last, that vision to deny! <br />What then, to see in your so glorious self? <br />What qualities shine out upon the world? <br /> <br />Loftiness of spirit; righteousness <br />of life; the purity of discipline; <br />majestic face of courage; gravity; <br />fearless, tranquil, passionless modesty— <br /> <br />and shining down forever on all this: <br />that glorious light in all things known and seen; <br />that watches even, its own watchfulness; <br />your self as all things, ever known to be. <br /> <br />And now you are Yourself: a blazing Sun; <br />glorious with the radiance that is One.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-self-from-plotinus-enneads-6-3/
