All about Conversations that Cook: We simply throw folks into a cauldron. They sizzle and they bubble and they boil. They come out savory: engaged and creative and getting things done—because that’s who went in.

Friend, my unknowing must trouble me. Just now I wanted to pray for clarity of sight, and yet this we are continually denied. Maybe it is best, for then we can create the sight, the vision, and that is exactly what we need at that instant. Instantaneous vision, momentary sight.

To see the whole picture clearly means to stand outside time and see how time fits with space. For that we have only glimpses and imagination, and it is up to us, to the extent it concerns us, to create that junction and the place and time toward which it is moving.

After you have transcended
How do your feet smell?
Can we know from this side?
Some transcendences come slowly
Some in great leaps over only
A generation or two—with a lot of
Sweat and blood
And unknowing
Ours a responsibility for
Creating the sight and the nature
Precisely how and when we need it
