Sadness: Pope John Paul II

One of his many poems:


With mercury we measure pain
we measure the heat of bodies and air;
but this is not how to discover our limits
--you think you are the center of things.
If you could only grasp that you are not:
the center is He,
and He, too, finds no love
---why don't you see?
The human heart
--what is it for?
Cosmic temperature.
Heart.
Mercury.
Karol Wojtyla
