How can these things be? John 3:9
Don’t explain
Don’t even
Try to — Just
Believe in
Mystery
“The wind blows…
You hear it…”
But who knows
Where and why
It begins
And ends, or
How earth spins
This year for the A-to-Z challenge, I’m challenging myself to write a Cethramtu Rannaigechta Moire every day. I can’t pronounce it, but I can tell you that it’s an Irish poetic form that requires 3 syllable lines in quatrains. The second and fourth lines rhyme.
Additionally, I’ve been collecting questions for a few years — specifically questions from the Bible. I have a big problem with people who think they know everything, especially religious people.
The more someone thinks they know God, the converse is true. I know less about God today than I did last year or five years or twenty-five years ago. I have so many questions.
Turns out the Bible is full of questions.
So, I’m using questions from the Gospel of John for this challenge.
That is very true. It’s a mystery. And more mysterious all the time.
Oh, I like it! Very well done! I’ve never heard of it, or if I have, I likely had no idea what it was since I haven’t the foggiest idea how to pronounce it either. Ha!
Well. I love the Irish language and I won’t even try to pronounce that one!
Love reading different kinds of poetry.
