For Ann

At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
-T.S. Eliot

for Aaron

The Lord said to Aaron, "Go into the wilderness to meet Moses." So he went; and he met him at the mountain of God and kissed him. Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord which he had sent him, and all the sign with which he had charged him. Then Moses and Aaron went and assembled all the elders of the Israelites. Aaron spoke all the words that the Lord had spoken to Moses, and performed the signs in the sight of the people. The people believed; and when they heard that the Lord had given heed to the Israelites and that he had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.
-Exodus

for Isaiah

Then shall your light blaze forth like the dawn, and your wounds shall quickly heal. Your righteousness shall walk before you, the glory of the Lord shall follow you.
-Isaiah
