The Comfort of Questions
We built a house
together, one without a roof.
All night it opened
to dark, abundant emptiness—
the questions without answers.
Gradually those questions
became stars. Red dwarfs and blue giants
consoled me, allowed the darkness
inside to be, to sprout like a safe seed,
slowly with grace.
In that house, all those days,
those years of your patient presence,
I learned to live
under freedom’s open sky,
with the walls of kindness
surrounding me.
In the beginning, what I knew could
fill volumes and teach me
nothing. Now I look to the shadows,
the starry questions and inhale,
every exhalation a Thank You.
-Rebecca del Rio

"Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine;
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine."
-From "Auguries of Innocence" by William Blake
What is the joy that runs through your grief and woe?
What other paradoxes are woven through your life?
