Sometimes I see
That flickering light,
Sometimes I feel
The earth in motion,
Or maybe it’s a stillness
Beyond stillness.
Either way,
It’s a reminder
That the world
Is far more
Than can be seen,
And my life vibrates
Like a single string
On a violin
In a full orchestra
Playing the symphony
Of forever…

Morf Morford considers himself a free-range Christian who is convinced that God expects far more of us than we can ever imagine, but somehow thinks God knows more than we do. To pay his bills, he’s been a teacher for adults (including those in his local county jail) in a variety of setting including Tribal colleges, vocational schools and at the university level in the People’s Republic of China. Within an academic context, he also writes an irreverent ESL blog and for the Burnside Writers Collective. As he’s getting older, he finds himself less tolerant of pettiness and dairy products.
