”In order for us to account for the concrete singularity of the finite mindful self, then, we must both reach out to being in its irreducible otherness and open ourselves to the divine absolute beyond ourselves.” Takeshi Morisato
Ladders fall away
between billowing white clouds
and ducks in the cove.
The way up and the
way down, there’s no difference
on this July day.
A vision granted
to a wanderer. I’m not
picky about such.
