Change

This is how a human being can change:
There’s a worm in the garden addicted to leaves.
Suddenly, it wakes up.
Call it grace, whatever you will, 

something awakens it and it is no longer a worm.
Now its flying over the entire garden, 

and the orchard too, with its fruit and sea of leaves.
Inside is a growing wisdom and joy 

that doesn’t need to devour anything anymore.
