Sheltered

Sheltered ……

from knowledge

is awkward when

ancient beliefs hold fast


Sheltered…….

from ancient beliefs

makes knowledge

vulnerable and translucent


Sheltered ……

from each other

we can become

afraid of the world


Shelter……

of any kind is necessary 

but needs safety and balance 

for us to step boldly into life.


“I am a writer who came of a sheltered life. 

A sheltered life can be a daring life as well.

For all serious daring starts from within.”

~ Eudora Welty
