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.

Oh the things you will see

Posted by Inexplicable Ways on November 25, 2009

at the Pickens Flea Market.

Stunning, isn’t it?

Meanwhile I love Mr. Organic Man.  Especially when he says flirty things like “oh, for you?  just a dollar.”  Or when he promises me a special jar of coconut oil next week after an evil woman snatched the only jar as I was reaching for it.  Then she asks, “What do you do with coconut oil anyway?”  She didn’t deserve it. 

And lest you be confused in your own quest to find Mr. Organic Man at the flea market.  He is quite the opposite of organic as he chain smokes in his camo jumpsuit with his chain-smoking, camo jumpsuit cohorts.  Ah, but his flea market booth is fantastic.

    We almost went today! I once found that guy thanks to you and got a bunch of organic fair trade chocolate bars (BIG ones) for a dollar each. They were really good. I kind of wish we’d gone, but it would’ve involved getting up early AND probably going out in the cold. Two strikes against it so we stayed in bed. Oh, and the cigarette smoke too.
