Parts

We are seen as parts,
and not as the whole,
seldom as the mind,
and never as the soul.






Psalm 121

I lift my eyes to the hills--
from where will my help come?
My help is from the Lord,
who made the heavens and the earth.
He will not let your foot slip,
he who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, he who guards Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is your guardian,
the Lord is your shadow
at your right hand.
By day the sun will not strike you,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you
from all evil,
he will guard
your life.
The Lord will guard
your going out
and your coming in,
from now
and forever.

The Path of Love

The path of love is the path of light,
the dark between the seven stars
is riven by a fireball's flight.
