“Our posthumous thinking, which releases us beyond the bounds of the rational universal, also cultivates our attentiveness to the divine otherness at work in determining processes of becoming.” Takeshi Morisato, Faith and Reason, 131.
Susurration and
loud birds over my head as
I walk under old
trees renewed for now.
For now I walk without pain.
It’s been a good walk,
solitary, com-
panioned by the gift of time.
I wave to the dogs
that bark from trim yards
sporting Black Lives Matter signs.
They know their limits.
