Infinities of Choosing
Paths diverge in the woods.
Not just one or two, but ten and twenty.
Choices ad infinitum
Stretching out ahead among the trees;
Among the hills and waterways.
A thousand choices, a thousand paths,
Each choice a share in all creation,
Each selection a partnership with God.
We wend our long befuddled way through time
And vast and breathless spaces.
For without the act of choosing
Creation would have faltered at the start.
Unless the first footfalls of the making
Of the universe were chosen by a warm
And wise intelligence that loved us and built
This
infinite home with room for children yet to be.
