Inexplicable Ways

Humbly building the universe

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.

The Economics of a Marriage

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on March 30, 2008

An unexpected gift celebrating no occasion.

Results in an apple pie baked with all my love.

And I thought of your face that sweeps over me like light, like the sun on the apple making a lovely show. So one seeing it marveled the other night, turned to me saying, “What is it in your heart? You glow.” –Not guessing that on my face he saw the singular reflection of your grace like fire on snow–and loved you there. –May Sarton

Aren’t marriage gifts for no reason great? I love ‘em. Stephen does them often and I love it.
Amazing pie too! Do you have any left? That wouldn’t last long at my house….Yummy!

Carey–there is a pie in your future. Have you picked up on my procrastinating tendancies? Scott moved up on the queue. I just made one for our electrician (which did not have the result I hoped–free work).

my dad (owner of earl’s garage) is well versed in the art of pie bartering.
