no answer no response 2

17 I know, that there are no answers in cognac or armagnac In the wine or sacred prayer, No answers in geometry or trigonometry, No response in Toronto, or Chicago, That’s why we write this, I know that there are no answers in the middle-class, In the castles of the Loire, or in Pigalle, In bars or shops, in the shopping crowd That’s why we go to cinemas In museums or exhibitions in Landerneau, I know there is no answer from our neighbors, No answers from intellectuals, New Yorkers, or champions, That’s why we read the poets, That we admire Rodin or the sunflowers of Van Gogh, I know that there is no answer in the Brest, No answer in drugs or diamonds, That’s why we seek silence, No answer in solitude or enjoyment, That’s why we protect bees, That we travel.

I love the conclusions at the end of each verse, mon amie! We choose throughout each day, wondering if we are wasting our days. The conclusion, we cannot figure it out but balance our days and turn toward the God who created and saved us. Hugs
