"...this world we live in is brimmed with wonders, and I and all mankind, beneath our garbs of common-placeness, conceal enigmas that the stars themselves, and perhaps the highest Seraphim can not resolve" -- Herman Melville, Pierre

the garden of the possible
every moment is
deepened, restored.
Was never born, never,
but could burst into life."
