“Когато срещнеш нещо...

Ако не можеш да го разбереш -
измисли си го.
И то ще ти даде най-силния си смисъл.
Убягва ли от погледа ти -
представи си го.
И ще видиш образа му най-истински.
Преди да го докоснеш -
усети го.
И всеки допир ще остане вече
груб и недостатъчен.

Когато срещнеш нещо,
срещни го с себе си -
и ще се срещнеш с него.

1975”
― Данила Стоянова, Спомен за сън
