105.) In The Overall Mind . . .

In the overall mind, the reasoning of the hand

That put the jigsaw of the world together,

The bright bit we couldn’t see, the transcribings

That went as though they were against us,

But weren’t – there was the beauty

Which was within the hardest part of difficulty –

Its influence as the passage of water through rock

Finding its way through even the tiniest crack in it –

So beauty will find its own way through our hardness

To infuse within us a glimmering hint of the glory

That was there in it – waiting only the allowance

Of our will to suffice it to live – and to live – there.
