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.

Ride the Water

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on May 13, 2008

Tonight we loaded up for a quick paddle and picnic. It was Norah’s first time in a kayak. She loved the canoe last summer so we knew she would have fun. She’s been asking to “ride the water.”

Aside from the difficulty in getting her out of the water and saying goodbye to the geese (she had to blow kisses to each of them), it was a sweet time!

We were at a lake across from Table Rock. I think Lake Oolenoy is the name. It is the closest (mostly) non-toxic lake.

I probably will be perceived as a bit prejudice, yet my granddaughter is the most beautiful, corn-on-the-cob eater I have ever seen!
