I'm thinking about pi,
that mysterious mathematical figure
which teaches us that the circle is,
in its essence, unknowable.
St. Teresa spoke of an Interior Castle as the source of prayer and the
Holy dwelling place.
What if that castle is a lodge or a hogan?
What if the dwelling of the Holy is a circle & is thus unknowable?
The child within is also a circle
embracing infinite potential
the handkerchief of innocence & experience
His trail of memories is a circular labyrinth
leading me back to that child.
Open the door, walk out once more,
rejoice in the blessing of a new day.
“God's grace be on this house,
and all who enter in”
Future entries will help explain some of these images.
