'Not to be wrenched into meaning'
“My objectives this morning were vague.
As always I'd hike these hills—
a way to keep going
against the odds age deals….
“Whatever this trance,
I treasured it as a wonder
not to be wrenched into meaning,
as in Every second counts,
as in You should count your blessings,
though of those there seems no doubt.’’
— From "Mahayana in Vermont," by Sydney Lea
