This form is perfectly suited to your aphoristic leanings! And yes, I was reflecting earlier today how little we can know of ‘truth’ or God, and how all we can receive are glimpses, finite as we are.

  Thanks Gill! Yes, some people are much too hasty…and presumptuous with the truth….. 😉 Hugs!

True we always know the half truth, so not fair to be judgemental…
Beautiful pic 🙂

    tricky syllabel count in “entirety.” 3 or 4? but thanks to the OED there is a search term : “British pronounciation of entirety…” cryptic, huh? 🙂

    I had a thought about the Tetractus form. Should the poem ideally be constructed so that the top triangle lines up in size/width etc. with the base? Hard to describe. Might take some manipulation . hmmm… or is the point to have the 1-2-3-4 formation “on top” of the base 10? Since the tetractus ‘ nine sections are contained inside the one main bracket thingy…

      Interesting…You can always try doing it ‘in reverse’. Has something to do Pythagoras and the numbers 1,2,3,4…..adding up to 10. 😉

        I’m interested in Sacred Geometry stuff sort of, and the tetractus was a feature that stuck in my brain….interesting to see the diagram.
