29. Expectation-dance

Don’t expect
    Anything
From the world.
Lo, you have become
The world’s best friend.

Expect everything
From God.
Lo, you have become
God’s best friend.

Expect nothing
From your earth-bound night
    And
Expect everything
From your Heaven-free day.
Lo, you have become
Your own best friend.
