40. Pulse of the past

```

O pulse of the past,

I do not need you

To found my reality on earth.

O pulse of the past,

My future dreams

Are growing fast

In my today’s reality.

O pulse of the past,

My animal past

Was my destruction-night;

My human past

Was my future dream;

My divine past

Has become one with the immediacy of today.
