God, I’ve relapsed
I watched television
I enjoyed it,
I laughed and
even thought … something’s
wrong with me

One day Harding stumbled upon a drawing by the philosopher and physicist Ernst Mach. It was a self-portrait – but a self-portrait with a difference. Most self-portraits are what the artist looks like from several feet – she looks in a mirror and draws what she sees there. But Mach had drawn himself without using a mirror – from his own point of view.

The eye by which I see God is the same as the eye by which God sees me. My eye and God’s eye are one and the same - one in seeing, one in knowing, one in loving.

The benefit of hindsight, beforehand

One lives alone

I admit a God in every crevice,
But not bats in my room

Look-alike

I become what
is around me
I am everything
I see, I
close my eyes
I cease there
perfected, still me
