Altar-building


Speak
to the beat
of the everyday drum.

Why have we come?

Bless me father
for I have

nothing to add.

Hold to the truth
and expect
it all to go bad.

Don’t raise a tool to the stone.

Just so! There are things that elude the logic of love ... only to become a proof of it in the blink of an eye.

There is such depth in this write, dear Nan.

This is great.

I add a wow, because there's complexity in the simplicity here--which may very well be your point?

LOVE IT.

Thanks so much, friends.  I didn't expect anyone to get it, and you all do.  I'm more transparent than I thought. You're the best.
