     Out of the familiar
     The unfamiliar born
     Only to become the familiar
     From which new wonders grow.

     In time
     All things familiar
     All we think we know
     And see
     And hear
     Is revised--
     Made new again.

     And in this glorious newness past
     We weep
     We stand exposed
     Before ourselves
     And bask in the familiarity of it all.
