Rocky Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Here's a poem written by Mary Oliver. Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous to be understood. How grass can be nourishing in the mouths of the lambs. How rivers and stones are forever in allegiance with gravity while we ourselves dream of rising. How two hands touch and the bonds will never be broken. How people come, from delight or the scars of damage, to the comfort of a poem. Let me keep my distance, always, from those who think they have the answers. Let me keep company always with those who say “Look!” and laugh in astonishment, and bow their heads. ~Mary Oliver Was Wierwille's claim that "he knew that he knew that he knew" a declaration of hubris or simply arrogance? What does Proverbs 16:18 tell us? I seem to remember him teaching about THE GREAT mystery. And then telling us what he believed it was. I tend to side, these days, with Mary Oliver on the subject of mysteries and doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
Miles to go before I sleep.
