| Think in ways you've never thought before. |
| If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message |
| Larger than anything you've ever heard, |
| Vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats. |
| |
| Think that someone may bring a bear to your door, |
| Maybe wounded and deranged; or think that a moose |
| Has risen out of the lake, and he's carrying on his antlers |
| A child of your own whom you've never seen. |
| |
| When someone knocks on the door, |
| Think that he's about |
| To give you something large: tell you you're forgiven, |
| Or that it's not necessary to work all the time, |
| Or that it's been decided that if you lie down no one will die. |
