one thing is

to trust

in goodness

and believe in all

that is good

another thing is

to be convinced

we know

what is good

no longer permanently

putting

a restraint on oneself

is about

the most natural thing

one can experience

and yet

to reach the summit

of that freedom

might lead through

the valley of tears

and the forest of shadowland

when purpose

pierce

promptly

penetrating

pain

power pleads

peacefully

a sudden shift

of mood

undermining hope

or calling back

to reality

depending on

how it is seen

calling for attention

no matter what

leaving no room

for hesitation

being thoroughly careful

and living in a permanent mess

might be a source

of perpetual unease

it might also be seen

as an expression

something is not yet

properly aligned

to hit the point

of gravity

after a life

in weightlessness

is not necessarily

spectacular

it can also be

a subtle

quiet

grounding

into the meaning

the mercy

and the marvel

of being

fully alive

a somewhat strange morning

not unpleasant

yet

difficult to discern

as if something is calling

for care

though it cannot be seen

what

being unable to explain

grace

or justify it

in any other manner

does not necessarily mean

being unable to

pass it on

graciously

when shame is no longer

overshadowing

only adding depths

to the light

while entering

the realm of mercy

what used to be tight

might

expand

and shine bright

being given to perceive

the entire dimension

of who we are

might be an expression

we have been able to embrace

the fragmentation

of our lowliness
