What is my name? What is your name? What is God's Name? Our name is: that we must be born. And the Creator's name is: to bear. The soul alone among all creatures is generative like God is.
Wild winter winds depart
in a final, dying howl.
Blackbird returns, a red-winged
oracle of spring,
announcing new life and renewed light,
shimmering with possibilities
of ever-circling Hope.
~ from “Red-Winged Blackbird” in POEMS OF OTHER WORLDS by Richard Bachtold
