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.
  
  
  --Mary Oliver

   Thank you for posting this! The births of my children were influenced greatly by Ina May Gaskin and I am thrilled to see that Ani had the same kind of experience. She did make a lot of good statements.
