Meditation, Henry Nelson Wieman

We are saved by
We are transformed in
Our trying and trying again

Knowledge of everything
Knowledge to infinity
All that transcendence

Not bloody likely at all
All slaps at the dark
Astray, illusion, sacred

Calves in our habits
Because they work
They have bloody worked

Ants with their ant gods
Us with ours
Nothing will get to us

Until it works, then stops
And so we’ll try again
Slaps at the dark

We are saved by
We are transformed in
Our trying and trying again
