When runners reach the turning point in a racecourse.
They have to pause briefly before they can go back .
We worry looking for truth’s source.
Peering through a spiritual crack.

I was trying to get to sleep with the Office of Readings
And I came across these words from St Basil the Great.
We get so more from this than all those meetings.
With most of them , it doesn’t matter if you are there or early or late.

This is about  a turning point.
We can go on as we are .
Wondering what’s the point.
Or we can follow our star

So for a moment we need to pause.
And wonder what is the root cause.

……

Where’s the turning point
Is it now or  to coming .
But we do not know

…….
