Sunday, February 4
[ ( ) ]
The patience that takes your heart out
into the wilderness. The impatience
that undresses you in a crowd.
Both are tears, flowing or still
in your artesian well.
This is what faith taught you.
This way, art. That way, God. This way
hierarchy dissolves.
Your grandeur is your insignificance.
And the whole world
in an atom in the mind,
the atom compounding,
transmitting a world.
It’s not as easy as it used to be
to be alone with the earth.
Garden, I choose you,
you are the time
I want to lose.
(Fady Joudah)
