About those nuts as well as those that protect us!
Orthodoxy

Says the nut to the shell:

         “I saw
         birth
         and variety—
         there is light,
         and sky,
         and our mother,

              the tree!”

Says the shell to the nut:

          “Heretic!
              You must be hallucinating or sick!
                    I know what I know,
                                        and darkness abounds . . .

          Believe me:

              there’s nothing around
              but ground!”
