poets are indeed at the mercy of what they see
they often have to say things they can't pretend to understand
seeing, hearing, and knowing simultaneously
'Whoever needs less should thank God and not be distressed.'
perfection consists in being what God wants us to be
no longer looking for what is not there
Psalm 16
in the realm of the sacred, what seems to be incomplete or unattainable may be abundance
celibate passion--elusive, tensile, holy
_The Cloister Walk_, Kathleen Norris
