Proverbs 4:18     New English Translation

18 But the path of the righteous is like the bright morning light,

growing brighter and brighter until full day.

To be one with you, I need to be outside myself.

How can I give myself if I deeply stay within my being?

I don’t mind stepping out far away from myself,

But is this worth it unless I divide my inner-being?

If I stay deep within, I know I am far beside myself.

If I don’t share myself, there is nothing but emptiness

To be full appears from outside the one I shared with

And that fulfills the “all in me” to grow in fruitfulness
