Forget not that the earth
delights to feel your bare
feet and the winds long to
play with your hair.
~ Kahlil Gibran
For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit lost in a shaft of sunlight,
Hints followed by guesses; and the rest
Is prayer, observance, discipline,
thought and action.
The hint half guessed, the gift half understood,
is incarnation.
