Paths and Signs

We don't know God's heart,
but we know
something that pours out over us
like rain over our hands.

We don't see His eyes,
but we see invisible light over everything
as on a summer night.

We don't hear His voice,
but we find
roads everywhere and signs in our hearts
and paths with hushed light.

(Norwegian poet Rolf Jacobsen entitled "Breathing Exercises")
