Invulnerable

Invulnerable, invulnerable
is the one who understands the Word:
Happiness and unhappiness do not exist.
There is only life and death.

And when you have learnt that and stopped hunting the
wind
and when you have learnt that and stopped being afraid
of the blowing wind,
then come back to me and teach me once more:
Happiness and unhappiness do not exist.
There is only life and death.

I began to spell, when my desire was born,
and will stop spelling, when my desire is at an end.
The secret of the Word
we acquire in death.

- Karin Boye
