Beholden by Forces and Shapes that Form a Life

I am grateful for a growing circle of influences within the inner river of life--narrative, poetry, theories, schemas and manners of learning and organizing knowledge such as religious,

Möbius strip

science and philosophical readings—material broadening my vision to more elusive territory while calling me to learn, challenging my current orientation with respect to awareness, attention, assumptions—love, hope . . .

Psalm 5

Lord of dimensions and the dimensionless,

Wave and particle, all and none,

Who lets us measure the wounded atom,

Who lets us doubt all measurement,

When in this world we betray you

Let us be faithful in another.
