The time will come
when, with elation,you greet yourself arrivingat your own door, in your own mirror,and each will smile at the other's welcome,and say, sit here. Eat.You will love again the stranger who was your self.Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heartto itself, to the stranger who has loved youall your life, whom you ignoredfor another, who knows you by heart.Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,the photographs, the desperate notes,peel you own image from the mirror.Sit. Feast on your life.-Derek Walcott-Sweetness.
