Canticle to the Wind

         Canticle to the Wind

This is the place I build my world.
A funny little god, fussing about the raw material
and without a clue about completion.
Beside the insistent calm, questions.
Beside answering, wonderment.

It is well; answers will not do.
It is out of nothing comes wisdom.
Don't look.  See.
It is heartbeat; it is footstep; it is triumph;
it is vanity just before collapse; it is waiting.
Then...then it may speak beyond the voice of God
who can share with us one impossible reality:
exit               and out

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

True words of wisdom are always the most simplistic. We stare at the answer our entire lives and refuse to believe that it can really be that simple. It is in our nature to always make things so unnecessarily difficult. The sooner we get out of the way and accept the truth, the happier we will become. It is always an honor and a privilege to read your work.

[Dean]

How very nice to hear from you again. This piece was a trifle, but I can always count on you for a thinking, reflecting read.
