Embrace Me
1. Those who have [...] without sense [...],
remove me [from] their [understanding], from grief.
2. And you embrace me from understanding [and] grief,
and embrace me from wretched and ruined places,
and rob from the good even if in wretchedness.
3. From shame, embrace me shamelessly;
and from shamelessness and shame,
put to shame my limbs within you.
4. And draw near to me, you who know me,
and you who know my limbs,
and establish the great ones among the small, first creatures.
5. Draw near to childhood,
and despise it not because it is small and it is slight.
6. And turn not away great things, little by little, from small things,
for the small things are known from the great things.
7. Why do you curse me and honor me?
8. You have wounded and you have been merciful.
9. Separate me not from the first ones, whom you have [known],
[and] cast not [out] anyone [nor] turn anyone away.
10. [...] turn you away and [... know] him not.
11. [...]. What is mine [...].
12. I know the [first ones] and those after them [know] me.
