Revealing

"I want to see you", you say.
But you are much too far away
for that; so the mystery proceeds.
"Take away the veil, and let me see."
But time and place do not agree
to show you everything
you want to know about me.
And I am not convinced
that all of this is real.
So I conceal what I can,
and reveal as little as I should,
still far less than I could.

Farther..

"Faith is the daring of the soul to go farther than it can see."

--William Newton Clarke

Faith...

"Faith is the bird that sings when the dawn is still dark."

--Rabindranath Tagore

Refuge

"Uncertainty is the refuge of hope."

--Henri Frederic Amiel
