*The only face I see of God is the face of another human being.


two musings

first


the half-moon through quartered blinds
appear at once dark and half-divided
dark and subdivided into potions of light


through open shutters and quartered blinds
i watch the movement of the night
and through the night, the day of light

this is what one does if one cares
to nurture light
and be brightened through the fading night

second


Jerry advised
wear the prayer shawl while seeking
and your midwife's hands creating

let it be a tent you wear to art
welcoming guests and feeding them

the Holy will speak through a fire in your heart

the Silence at the core of things
will be the voice guiding what you see
channeling the fire trembling in your hands
