Lenten reflection from Susan Proctor

From birth to tomb

another afternoon

of grace and spit upon the womb

of ones as us who try and fail

again to grasp
majestic solitude

to find girth within the filth

within the dance of circumstance

the wet of sweat and deep regret

yet salvation of the simple spate

truth unearthing history

of the holiness of us

*******************

PS – Faced with two children of God who have sought to hurt and be cruel over time, I followed and answered the call of Our Creator, and returned unkindness with kindness today. What a blessing! How light I felt as Light flooded in. I pray the same for them. For all of us. I suppose that I have given up something, and that has returned overflowing filling. Great thanks be.

Pax,

Susan P
