   I liked the idea of also setting aside the sheep. Fire does seem alive potentially representing a presence.

   I like that, “none I’ve known, yet all I’ve ever known, calls my name.” I never knew Him, but knew Him when I met Him. Great burn man!

   Such a presence burns its way into the soul.

   Yes, that,
   “none I’ve known, yet all I’ve ever known, calls my name.”
   That is the paradox of God. May we all have such a revelation while here on earth.

   I specially admire the spiritual line of: A presence from the fire, none I’ve known, yet all I’ve ever known, calls my name.

   I like the way you combined quadrille and haibun into this prompt. Very clever.

   I like how the prose portion deals with the extraordinary and divine and then the haiku magnifies the divine by dwelling on the ordinary. Really nice!

    Conveniently I’ve been reading the beginning of the Book of Exodus lately. Your poem brings out the transcendence and mystery of that passage
