Hmmm... still in a bit of an odd mood... this is a wry look at rhetorical questions... or something. Glad my children didn't get round to these ones. A write filled with Confucian??!! :)) xx
HOW, GOD? “who are you?, which much? I’ve always hardly known you, will you be in touch?” Richard Price – “Lick and stick” How, God, did you conceive of “plural”, being sole I Are? In darkness, how did you divine of light – did you read it in the stars? Seeking answers as to “how” is the sound of one-hand clapping -- life, light and love are impossibly conceived in tender womb of the dove.

Quite profound questions, Kate - but I doubt questions that would disturb your kids. And I love your last stanza.

So many of my own questions wrapped up in this one, Kate.
For me it's a state of mind, a constant.
I related and enjoyed very much. Thank you.

Love,
Bonnie

Pure and sweet words of wonder and I believe we have the right to question even God for it was he that gave us the ability to question and think with the minds he provided. Great Write and a nice new pic of you and your beau. Congrats on 28.
Hugs,
Pops
