We are given
moments
of clarity
which give
meaning
to what we do
without
obliterating
the fact
of suffering
which we have
experienced
and know we can
experience
a peace
a joy
a knowing
that
what was begun
in us
will be completed
in us
a desire
a wisdom
a love
in us
over which we
have
no control
but much
control
for this
we thank you

And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them,
until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.
