Priceless Gifts
\nby Anna Swir<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

English version by Czeslaw Milosz and Leonard Nathan<\/font><\/p>\n

An empty day without events.
\nAnd that is why
\nit grew immense
\nas space. And suddenly
\nhappiness of being
\nentered me.<\/p>\n

I heard
\nin my heartbeat
\nthe birth of time
\nand each instant of life
\none after the other
\ncame rushing in
\nlike priceless gifts.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/a> \u2014 from The Poetry of Impermanence, Mindfulness, and Joy<\/a>, Edited by John Brehm<\/font><\/p>\n
