Far Beyond Words

Because of the unknown factor in life,
the unknowingness of what we experience together,
the unknowingness of so much of ourselves,
our affiliations with each other
must to a large extent be religious.

The spirit and the heart
can fill in that portion of ourselves
where knowledge and wisdom
are of little value, or of no avail.

Our attitudes and our commitments
then become religious
in the most acute sense.
