Inexplicable Ways

• Song of the Builders

  On a summer morning
  I sat down
  on a hillside
  to think about God--
  a worthy pastime
  Near me, I saw
  a single cricket;
  it was moving the grains of the hillside
  this way and that way
  How great was its energy
  how humble its effort
  Let us hope
  it will always be like this
  each of us going on
  in our inexplicable ways
  building the universe.

Earth Hour

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on March 30, 2008

Our family celebrated Earth Hour last night.  Norah and I had been playing in cornstarch goop (who has time to make proper play-dough?) and I lost track of time.  So the first part of our Earth Hour was spent giving Norah a bath by candlelight.  Then we sang songs as the candles glowed.  Norah played dear Nate’s “junkelele.”  Our neighbors, Lee and Brittany stopped by to gift Norah with a book.  

We had so much fun by candlelight that we might celebrate Earth Hour more frequently in our home.  So, if our lights are off, knock anyway…

   Nate would be so proud that she plays his junkelele like a slide guitar
