Questions For A Long Watch In A Blind – II
Am I free to take off the hooded cloak of science,
   free to wonder about in the profusion of singularities here  in my space-time  enclosure,
   free to wonder if the minute embroidery of a lily is more than a random
      innovation for survival, 
   free to ask if the tall oak is a token?

   a way that bears stubborn storms of emotion that render prayer dry and mindless,   
   a way that lifts daily discouragements into prayer,
   a way that is faithful in demanding struggles.
