the elements, apart
As I got to the end of yesterday afternoon's long constitutional, at Aquatic Park a couple of hours before sunset, I sat and contemplated each element of the Samādhi of the Lay Sacraments, as individual entities.
The first was the loupe, now cracked on its rim, after having been dropped onto various surfaces many times over the years. It's still absolutely functional, even as I can easily take it apart and yet it remains intact even without gluing the rim in place.
