“We are not perfectly free until we live in
pure hope. For when our hope is pure, it no longer trusts exclusively in human
and visible means, nor rests in any visible ends. “ Thomas Merton
Close the gun’s
edge
life is sharply
defined.
Clarity is achieved
when you have
nothing left
but hope.
That’s when you
realize
that your life
stands
without any visible
means of
support;
like a high-
wire walker,
you are
pure.
That’s why
you have the freedom
to stand between
the red rage
and the children.
