“We shape our self to fit this world

and by the world are shaped again.

The visible and the invisible working together

in common cause, to produce the miraculous.

I am thinking of the way the intangible air

passed at speed round a shaped wing easily holds our weight.

So may we, in this life trust to those elements

we have yet to see or imagine,

and look for the true shape of our own self

by forming it well to the great intangibles about us.”
