it's by rene daumal...and i think it's french surrealist poetry. either way...enjoy.
last letter to his wife
This is how I sum up for myself what I wish to convey to those who work here with me:
I am dead because I lack desire,
I lack desire because i think I possess.
I think I possess because I do not try to give.
In trying to give, you see that you have nothing;
Seeing that you have nothing, you try to give of yourself;
Trying to give of yourself, you see that you are nothing:
Seeing that you are nothing, you desire to become;
In desiring to become, you begin to live.
