Not seeing G-d
art - l. statman, age 14 poem - l. padia, age 14	I could stand and see your wonders I could see it all But I throw myself down to scrape my face to hide in the filthy dirt. Why? they ask why did you choose not to see? How do I give them an answer. I do not need to see? I do not need proof. My reasons my answers lay buried in my heart. and that is all I need. - L.P.
