Nice take on a biblical phrase. According to the late rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel the Bible was written as poetry. He was a man who also marched with Dr. King. Peace & Love Matthew Anish

A great monoku and a great quote. Here's another from another book: "As a strong wind sweeps away a boat on the water, senses carry away a man’s mind". Good luck in the contest, Andrea)
