Struggling things!
Waiting things!
Vulnerable things!
Empty creatures with beaks sprung wide,
desperately, incessantly clamoring for more!
But not…
poor struggling things,
poor waiting things,
poor vulnerable things,
poor little empty creatures
clamoring for more.
This is the way of the egg,
the way of the bird,
the way of Life…
with the struggle,
the waiting,
the vulnerability
and, most of all,
the emptiness that
cries out for the More.
