The End of Yourself

If anything but

"I don't know."

is what you find

at the end of yourself,

   I'm pretty sure you

   haven't reached the end,

   but only found a safe place

   to pull over for a while;

      because divine mass and velocity

      are forever at our limits,

      and "I don't know."

      is the truest part

      of our margins.

   A local church marquee

   recently quoted Fr. Cavanaugh

   from the movie, “Rudy”:

   "There is a God

   and I am not Him."

Yep; that pretty much

sums it up.

When you've experienced this,

you're ready to become an artist,

   creating with and from your very life

   the metaphors and imaginings

   of your richest dreams,

   both waking and sleeping.

      Take courage.

      All the brave ones have painted

      this truth without embellishing.
