Unscrew The Inscrutable
Awakening before dawn, this settled into my practice: Let us have the courage to imagine a repaired and sane world, a healed and whole self; a world of possibilities, based on the natural abundance that arises from not knowing and having the imagination to see life as whole.

Look at the delicate petals of the rose, look at the magic of the bees, look at the vibrant earth and its mountains and its trees. Look at the galaxies, at the dancing light of the stars. Look at the deep blue sea and the weaving rivers as they part. Look at the perfect orbit of every sun and moon. Look, look and see the beauty of every divine sign and subtle truth. Now tell me how you can assume that God would take care of everything in this universe and not take care of you?
~ A. Helwa

I am, of course, playing with words. But that is the proper business of a philosopher who is also a poet, for the task and delight of poetry is to say what cannot be said, to eff the ineffable, and to unscrew the inscrutable.

May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.
— Rilke
