Why didn’t You create me deaf so I would not hear Your calling?
Why didn’t You create me blind so that I would not see Your blessings?
Why didn’t You create me without a nose so my olfactory would not be set alight with memory?
Why didn’t You create me without hands so I could not help others?
Why didn’t You create me without feet so I could not traverse Your land?
Why didn’t You create me without senses so I couldn’t feel through all of them –
say the ignorant, say the ingrates, say the deniers.
Had You not created me with anything other than one sense or limb alone,
The sole purpose would be so that I may use it to find You.
