Poetry, Christian Interpretation, Quantum Physics

I would encourage you all to check out the latest post at The Word, which now runs weekly on Tuesdays, by the way. It's a little looser now, a little more personal. For example, this week's post tackles the tale of David's early kingship through poetry, christian interpretation (inspired by Hal Lindsey's The Late, Great Planet Earth), and quantum physics (in particular the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle).

Let me know what you think!

God Is

I sort that I may construct
rough-hewn thoughts into
corpus - my dust and breath,

hurl abstract words
small as stones
into the slag heap,

saving, savoring concrete
words with which I raise my synagogue
foundation - writing, rhetoric, resonance.

I wish life was a stone
I did not have to cast
with the others as I

build my beautiful Babel,
my altar of witness that
sin is a mere word, that

sacrifice is meaningless, that
faith is ritual only, that
objects matter neither,

and that God is not written
throughout. With this
knowledge I build,

from the slag heap
construct my faith.
