and the god that made us
to be the needle with which
it pierced the fabric
of its incredible loneliness
could not help but fashion us
stitch by stitch in its own
incredibly lonely image and likeness
and when it saw all of creation
mirrored and flowering
in billion-fold isolation
beneath the mantle
of its amazing and infinite love
god became all at once
and for the first time afraid...

the photo is so bright and hopeful. your words are deeply moving but less hopeful. or somewhat sad. but it is such an amazing image. i am very moved.

The glowing center of the morning glory is wonderful and seems to represent the Big Bang, but your words make me wonder if this isn't a mourning glory.
