Into the night

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year
'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.'

And he replied, 'Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God
That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way!'

So I went forth and finding the Hand of God
Trod gladly into the night
He led me towards the hills
And the breaking of day in the lone east.

So heart be still!
What need our human life to know
If God hath comprehension?

In all the dizzy strife of things
Both high and low,
God hideth his intention.

Happy handprints

In the country,
in the gutter,
hidden by weeds.

I never would have seen it if I had been the driver.

But I was not the driver,
and I did see it,
and this bit of silliness made me pretty happy.

So I'm passing the happiness on to you. :)
