this side of the screen.
it's sort of like a puzzle. each
little piece is necessary to create
a whole that some how amounts to
more than the sum of its parts. it is
a body of interdependent units,
linked only by their need for one another.
it's true that each can be viewed as its
own entity, but something greater is missed.
we can note how green this one might be, or
how the water in this one acts simultaneously
as mirror and refracting lens. we can marvel at
how clearly one can peer through and see
a bit of what's on the other side, and we
readily miss the - quote, unquote - big picture.
no member of this conglomerate reality
considers itself to be more or less than
its neighbors. indeed, these little frames
understand their union as affiliates,
and they embrace working together,
believing that such teamwork points through this
window to an amalgam of glory.
oh, Lord, help us, too, that we may see others' squares
as we point to That which is Beyond this side of the screen.
You guys are the best.
