A single rose, a gorgeous sunset, the intricate design of what had previously been an “ugly” insect—I cannot guess what she saw, but she saw. And in excitement and rapture, she cried out to her mate (whatever form of “marriage” they had in those days) “Oh, look at this, look!” and he looked and he saw. And beauty was created in a world that had been flat and dead and meaningless until that moment.

Thought:

“I had a vision / of all the people in the world / who are searching for God

massed in a room / on one side / of a partition

that looks / from the other side / (God’s side)

transparent / but we are blind. / Our gestures are blind.”
