“When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and
honour.”
(Psalm 8, King James Bible)

spoken words into silence

3 years ago, from a tour bus, Mrs. Abstract and I saw this house of worship,Bahai Gardens, in Israel.
There are sounds of triumph
and self-absorbing uncertainty
an extravagance to think
one can isolate ones thoughts
to sublime things, tame
from galloping or falling away.
“In the desert
when a light turns off
stars increase in the universe.”
Forty days and forty nights
to live
the eternal questions
To succumb or endure
hunger, thirst or pain
will not make days holy
Who are those
we know and love
can help us in any way?
Whispers turns into whirlwind,
perplexing, vast, timeless,
Wisdom is
A child dips a spoon
in the ocean
drop by drop
pours the water
on the sand
begins the 10,000 hours
to mastery
she may not think yet
of walking on water
It will come
in time.
