[God has not retired...] Poem by Tadeusz Dąbrowski
[God has not retired...]
God has not retired - as Simone Weil
would have it - a huge distance away, but He's
right here, so close that I can feel His
caring non-presence. (Which is a word passed over
in silence, an aborted gesture, a suspended
gaze,
a breath held for a moment. That
not breathing, that's your life.)
