" My son, don't be satisfied with a drop of water.

You have to throw yourself into ... His stream. "

so cautiously we walk through life

peering over our shoulders

at our littered pasts

regretful for too many things

peering ahead into

the vague future

anxious and worried about many things

and so we creep

like people

with spiritual PTSD

unable to fully enter into life

or love

struggling with our deficits

and too afraid

to be generous

to wounded to forgive

ah, but Sacred Presence (the Spirit)

abounds

it is ours to partake

don’t just dip!

Don’t just sample Sacred with

a cup

a jar

a pitcher

dive in!

it’s a roaring spring

but wow!

What a ride
