Abstract
Deep Kinship Bonnie Thurston (bio) An odd calling,this deepening into solitudethat some think strangepsychic sickness.But it is to me a coolnessin the midday heat of life,relief from all that came before. And I feel deep kinshipwith these little, gray birdson these stones, by this stream,stones the color they are,protecting them,burbling cooling sprayin which they bathe and play. Here the great challengeis quietly enacted:one by individuated oneto rise up from the waterson unwavering wing,warbling unquestioning praisefor this particular life. [End Page 308] Bonnie Thurston Bonnie Thurston is author or editor of fifteen theological books, many scholarly articles and two small collections of poetry. A new collection of her poems will appear next year, from Liturgical Press.
