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.

Norah’s Prayer

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on November 12, 2009

GetAttachment This is what she prayed last night:

Dear God,

Hey.

I want a rainbow bedspread and a rainbow cake for my birthday. I’ll be four December 9. K?

And I want binoculars for I can see you.

When I get big I want to marry you for I can be big like you.

Amen. Goodnight. Be comfy. Bye.

(Then she blew God a kiss)

I love that cheeky spirit!

I like the part about wanting to marry God when she’s big…
