Docta Ignorantia IX

Definition

By David R. Graham

My native context is neither
the Church,
the Synagogue
nor the Temple.

It is the Hermitage.

The Church, the Synagogue
and the Temple
are defined by an assertion.

The Hermitage,
by an aspiration.

I do not define my life by a message.
I define my message as my life.

For a hermit,
yearning is the only earning.
