That, that is

That, that is 

This is the first, wildest and wisest thing I know, that the soul exists, and that it is built entirely out of attentiveness.  —Mary Oliver

As though we know there's an is,
and what it is,
this hacky sack ball
of a word
we bandy about 

We think we’re clear— 
but are we? 
If there is something,
it's unspeakable
ineffable
neti neti
silent
