“The place God calls you to is the place where your
deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”
― Frederick Buechner, Wishful Thinking: A
Theological ABC

deep inside me
rumbling
moving
empowering
oozing out through my very pores
are the gifts of the Sacred
angel fire
love, joy, peace,
forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (yes,
see Galatians 5)
deep inner resources
gifts of uncompromising love
not just so I can survive
and perhaps flourish
in this world of peril and danger
but so that I can touch
the deep hunger
the deep darkness
only the fire
the light from within
can dispel
the hungering dark
