“Mount Sinai” by Yoram Raanan
uncertain summit
sacred among
peaks of exodus
roofing the pharaoh
here somewhere
did granites bear
Decalogue stones
paired mosaics of
lawgiver language
adapted in time
through the schisms
of faith by three
scriptural books
given reverent
devotion by disparate
children of Abraham
common of roots
drawn from desert
and mountain yet
deeply estranged by
construal of doctrine
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

‘Snapshot and crossroads’ the two words that come to mind reading this…as ever your words provoke thought such is their power and construct.

I can feel the depths of this one having shared a large family Passover last night with a friend.

This begs so many questions, principal among them, ‘why?’ Lots of whys, actually. I read a great book years ago, can’t remember its name, possibly Revelation (not that one!) that dealt with what you have described here. I found myself asking why a lot then too.

if memory (of my deep-thinking days) serves me correctly, “why” is the one question that can never be adequately answered by human minds
