MATTINA
M'illumino
d'immenso
Seven melodic syllables. Italian. Not Sanskrit, not English. So simple, yet profound. Written by Giuseppe Ungaretti, a classic Italian poet. Lost in translation, the essence of it's meaning: Immensity enlightens me / I enlighten myself by immensity.
Morning. Immensity. Greatness. Power. Spiritual illumination. All that is possible when I choose to get out of my own way.
Today this poem serves as my mantra.
