The Space inbetween

Grace is not something God gives; grace is who God is. Grace is God’s official job description. Grace is what God does to keep all things that God has created in love alive--forever. If we are to believe the primary witnesses--the mystics, the saints, the transformed people--an unexplainable goodness is at work in the universe.

In the space in between

God lives

In the space “in between”

God loves

In the space “in between”

myself and “the other”

the one loved

or even hated

the one I know intimately

the one from whom I am alienated

in that space

God is

drawing together

filling the gap that separates

healing

being the conduit

through which understanding

and compassion

and yes

love

flows
