Response to a Saint

This astonished face;

All that lives belongs to the land, it identifies us for who we are. There is no beginning, no end to this, just a portion of time to share, to exist, to be known.

I am neither Christian or Jew; Muslim, Hindu, wise man or fool. I am all of these and none at all. I have curved time’s metal to the hoop and sent it spinning in my soul.
