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.

Oregano’s First Cousin

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on July 21, 2008

On vacation. My child is trying to return all the sand to the sea. My husband is playing. I’m thoroughly salted, languorous, and sun-dazzled. And thankful I finagled a friend to chop my hair before the ocean tangled with me.

May whatever breaks be reconstructed by the sea with the long labors of its tides. –Pablo Neruda

Ah, sun dazzled. That sounds really nice right about now! You didn’t get all your hair chopped off did you?

The ocean pales when compared with the sight of my granddaughter playing in the sand!…and are you sure that is Scott? Looks like a green wave to me!

Keep the sunscreen on!

Yes, Norah loves the water. She has gotten a little squeamish after the jelly invasion yesterday but still having a blast as long as we’re holding her.
