”We seem at home within a whole, and the whole seems our home. And yet we must ask: Is there a God beyond the whole?” God and the Between, 54.
I do a double
take, doubting my eyes. It’s blue-
gray, a tough-looking
heron wading there.
Fast forward into the dark.
Death is quite normal,
we must not resent
it. The heron’s eye sees through
me, a visitor.
