Messenger from Arizona
I lived in the desert of Arizona for fourteen years,
and then it was as if arms greater than my own,
with plans I could not conceive of in my whole life,
stood me into a place of spiritual rest and greater things...
And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw;
for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of things in the spirit,
and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being.
