With a lamp in the blaze of daylight I seek out the work of God in real time.
These far-fetched words unfurl into those who do the work of God in real time.
If I were another on the road I would do the work of God in real time.
In this age of noise and sorrow, what greater privilege than to do the work of God in real time?
The horse waits but the rider is nowhere to be found. Who then shall do the work of God in real time?
Many are the godless, my friends, many are the disregarded who do the work of God in real time.
My memory is lit by remembered lightning: a ghazal to the work of God in real time.
