Johannes Tauler's Thoughts Poem by Genova Maaa my mother

„A man may die a thousand deaths in one day,
and find at once a joyful life
corresponding to each death.

The stronger the death,
the more powerful
and thorough the corresponding life.

The more intimate the death,
the more inward is the life.

Each life brings strength
and strengthens to harder death.

He finds life in death
and light in shining in darkness'.
(Tauler, Sermon on St. Paul, The inner way p.114) .
