if only I could properly grasp [and memorise]
what I understood for a fleeting second
while I was washing up tonight:
that what you ask us to surrender
is a mere nothing
compared with the gift you have for us;
and that the surrender is not so much a question of courage,
more a question of faith born of insight.
and the glimmer of insight that we need
comes simply through patient asking.
blind faith is needed too,
but we are such fools to think
that the darkness is caused
by anything other than our own severest handicaps
