One of my favorite medicine-poems:

I have a feeling that my boat
has struck, down there in the depths,
against a great thing.
And nothing
happens! Nothing…Silence…Waves…

— Nothing happens? Or has everything happened,
and are we standing now, quietly, in the new life?

(Oceans, by Juan Ramon Jimenez, tr. by Robert Bly)
