Thank you for this message.
... so truthful and heartbreaking. In one word:

The memory that can't be readily recalled
Of the beginning—before the writing began,
Forget it: be calm in the tempestuous moment,
Listen to the lecture of the universe to man.

This poem is cleansing and calling us to repent. Today's situation around the world is tragic and I need a moment to remember the word before the written word. Thank you for reminding me. I really need to listen instead of trying to get something or make myself something. Thanks for bearing with me and for being with me through your poems. These words stretch universes and will begin the work of restoration and unity. I will listen and be calm instead of being carried by the storm.

Peace
