Living Simply

I am happy to live correctly and simply:

Like the sun--like the pendulum--like the calendar.

To be a secular recluse, graceful

And wise--like the least of God's creatures.

Laws:the Spirit is my companion and guide!

To enter unannounced, like a ray, like a glance.

To live as I write: correctly and succinctly--

As God has enjoined, as my friends tell me not to.
