For it is also yours:
So I will watch with you,
Through you, in you
What you have decided with yours
I want to be strong to recognize
That it is wisdom. —

I see a white wall in front of me,
On it I write: I am.

Left foot: The ground holds me
I am surrounded by the red and yellow firmament.
The firmament circles around me and warms me.

I breathe out: o
Noon:
God's wisdom orders the world.
It also orders me;
I want to live in it.
God's love warms the world
It also warms my heart;
I want to breathe in it.
God's power carries the world
It also carries my body;
I want to think in it.
Evening:
It will be dark
My soul goes into darkness
It will shine in the darkness,
Shine because wisdom, strength, and goodness of God are in it;
Wisdom, strength, and goodness
Grow in it in the darkness —
Through them my soul will
shine again full of life
through my head, heart, and limbs. —

In the morning:
I am from the insensitive
Moved into the tangible.
I lived in spirit,
When I slept without feeling.
I live in meaning,
When I wake with feeling.
I shall call divine
The intangible as well as the tangible.
In God I am awake,
Even when I sleep
In God,
From whom I come,
To whom I go.
In the evening:
To God
I go,
From whom I come.
In him I sleep,
In him I am awake.
The tangible and the intangible
I shall call divine.
I live in the senses
When I am awake and feeling.
I live in the spirit
When I sleep and feel nothing.
Through sleep
I enter into the intangible.
It is the intangible
in the spirit.
I will be asleep
