unexplainable

For now, this excerpt from “What is there beyond knowing” by © Mary Oliver in (2005) New and selected poems. Vol 2. Boston: Beacon Press, p. 20.

What I know
I could put in a pack

as if it were bread and cheese, and carry it
on one shoulder,

important and honourable, but so small!
While everything else continues, unexplained

and unexplainable. …

More soon.

    thank god for the mysteries, the stories we are yet to know and the open world before us dreaming… barely do we know ourselves at this point…

    have a good week Peter
