I was driving this evening and thinking heavily about this post when the poem below was read on the radio (during NPR's On Being). It seemed very topical, and thus I was incredibly taken aback. Sure maybe its odd for an atheist such as myself to be moved by a poem about pondering the divine, but I was, so I have to share it. Hope you all enjoy it, too.
- Stay bewildered in God and only that.
Those of you who are scattered, simplify your worrying lives.
There is one righteousness.
Water the fruit trees and don't water the thorns.
Be generous to what nurtures the spirit and God's luminous reason-light.
Don't honor what causes dysentery and knotted-up tumors.
Don't feed both sides of yourself equally.
The spirit and the body carry different loads and require different attentions.
