I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

Who can forgive?
Who can fully renounce a day? Who can conceive of forgiving a whole life,
granting all in it pardon? (Hafiz)

God
Oh God you are the one
who sees us perfectly
who sees us as we really are
you know our days
our hours
our weeks
our years
you know our lives
looking back along our life
journey
must bring you to tears
for the hurt we have created
the mistakes we have made
the ways we have
violated
love
and yet
you came
your entered with us into
the depths of humanity
experienced us at our worst
you descended to earth
to the depths of sheol
only
to ascend
rising to that place
where you
see us fully
and wonderfully forgive
and love
Who can conceive of forgiving a whole life, granting all in it pardon?
The risen Christ
and so
Easter
