Page 266 lake poetry, tribute to the human capacity to articulate truth at the edges of of what words can touch. I reached the end of this writing and fear and trembling, to use cure guards phrase, at all I haven't said and can't articulate begin to the to tie up at the limits of my words, acknowledging their necessary humility. Humility is a final virtue to name and beckon here. It is woven through lives of wisdom and resilience. It's another word that has acquired a taint of ineffectuality. But my life of conversation is reintroduced it to me as a companion to curiosity and the light. Lake humor, it's softens us for hospitality and beauty and questioning and all the other virtues I've named in these pages.
