A Small World

A small child inhabits a small world.
He does not see,
Perceive,
Or understand
That a much larger world exists.

Even in his small world
He is told
That part of it is his to use,
And that other parts are not allowed.

These boundaries
Expand,
And he begins to understand
That he is allowed to do more.

And the world he used to see
As a little bubble
Gradually expands.

He notices there is a street,
And a town beyond the street,
And there is the whole world.
And he himself on earth.

Similarly,
The wisdom of Kabbalah
Is gradually revealed to us.
