The Long Dark Ride

 

 

Are fear and ignorance one thing that looks like itself or
terrifying twins who feed one another? 
Can they be separated and if they can will it kill them?  And if they die what will spring from their
remains?  Will it be better or
worse?  Can I tell what better is?  Should I tell if it turns out to be
worse?  Is there ever an end to either
fear or ignorance?  If there is, how deep
is that well and will I survive a trip to the bottom?  Do you know and do you care?  Will you go with me if I find the way?  Will you take me if you find it first?

THE 24 HOUR GOD

Matching a loving God to the horrors of my past
 has proved impossible for me.
Projecting a connection to an all powerful God
 of the ever foreshortening future seems implausible.

In today, I see a nurturing God
 not an all purpose God
Not a God who serves all.
In my life there is a God I trust today.

Each morning, when I wake
 there is a pleasant surprise to find a God.
Not an expansive God, not a God to fit the continuum
But a nice neat God who fits right in this 24 hours.
