Sometimes I dream
that everything in the world is here,
in my room,
in a great closet, named and orderly,
and sometimes I am that madcap person
clapping my hands and singing;
and sometimes I am that quiet person
down on my knees.

and sometimes we are down on our knees clapping –
Mary is right, we are all these people at different times.
She is so darn good! Thanks David 💛
