The Worm in the Radish
Baal HaSulam
The worm born inside a radish
Sits there
thinking
That the
Creator's world
Is as bitter,
Dark,
And small
As the radish
In which it was
born.
But as soon as the worm
Breaks through
the radish's peel
And gets a
glimpse of the outside,
It says in
wonderment,
"I thought
the entire world
Was the size of
the radish in which I was born,
But now I see
A great,
Bright,
And truly
beautiful world
Before
me."
