Genesis beckons

into Journey beyond

what we have known

what we can see...

 

into courage for Crossing

from death into Life

over our Jordans

into all that will be

 

Our souls are laid bare

as the past falls away

we long to be clothed

with dawning of Day

 

Life will not be bested

so brave steps ensue

He gives beauty for ashes

 

All things will be made New

"The Lord God is my strength,
and He will make my feet like hinds' feet,
and he will make me walk upon mine high places."

-Habakkuk 3:19

 

 

Incarnation

 

"In the beginning was the Word...

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us..."

-John 1:1, 14

 

+++

 

As in the beginning,

The Word still seeks

safe harbor

in hearts that

would become

willing wombs...

 

These hearts of dust

become Heaven's creche,
bearers of Gospel,
Word, again, becomes flesh

Merry Christmas dear ones,

"Then Mary said, 'Behold the maidservant of the Lord!  Let it be to me according to your word.'"

lamentation

 

 

+++

 

hearts hang,

battered,

half staff

 

with Jesus

we weep

"Jesus wept."

-John 11:35

 

while my heart cannot wrap around the grief
of the Sandy Hook tragedy,

my hope is in my very small way to weep with those who weep,

and in so doing,

bear with them their grief
