Walking with my family,
I am like one of the
four living creatures
“full of eyes
in front and behind;”
two pairs at my head,
two at my waist,
and two at my knees.
Together we spot
the monarch caterpillar
green and yellow
stretched-out along
a blade of grass,
the cicada half out
of its shell, suspended
on the side of a tree
and, like the angels,
I am filled with praise.
