“There they will see me.” – Matthew 28:10

God who creates and sees
with the declaration, "It is good!"
use your gift of working with mud
and mix us once or twice again;
we try to master the ingredients
- water and land, the heavens and the earth - 
you have given us
using our own imaginations
and come up short of fulfillment.
Amen.

Necessary Things

How I have wrestled with the myth of Christ,
tried to follow the teachings of Jesus
and sought to live along the Way.

And suffering remains,
with the ingredients of fulfillment
still written in a hand that I cannot read.

The necessary things have carried me this far,
far enough to know that I have lived today
and that tomorrow never comes.

Dreams

Flowing depth
without drama.

Not enough
variation.

Deep mumbling
ground.

Crying to be
taken home.

Lifted up
by dreams undreamed.

Up and Down

We discover gravity 
together
throwing toys 
up into the air
watching them 
come down
to the ground.
