THINGS TO THINK 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 or deranged; or think that a moose Has rise 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. (Robert Bly)
