Despite the horror, we survivors were endowed with a will to survive. Or instinct. Or maybe it was faith.
While the burning fish is tracing his arcnear the cypress, beneath the highest blue of all,and the blind boy flies away in the white stone,and the ivory poem of the green cicadabeats and reverberates in the elm,let us give honor to the Lord__he black mark of his good hand__ho has arranged for silence in all this noise. Honor to the god of distance and of absence,ff the anchor in the sea__he open sea_He frees us from the world__t__ everywhere__e opens roads for us to walk on. With our cup of darkness filled to the brim,with our heart that always knows some hunger,let us give honor to the Lord who created the zeroand carved our thought out of the block of faith.
