Someday I am going to ask my friend Paulus,
the dancer, the potter,
to make me a begging bowl
which I believe my soul needs.
And If I come to you,
to the door of your comfortable house
in unwashed clothes and unclean fingernails
will you put something into it?
I would like to take this chance.
I would like to give you this chance.
