This is a pilgrim way....
Ragged Heir to the Divine Story,
you explore what’s possible in the Longing—
Hands tracing the Canyon’s colored layers,
Feet leaving patterns of dance in the dust before the Ark
Skin bearing the healed scars and open wounds of this Journey
Arms reaching and aching, open and empty in the darkening expanse of twilight
Eyes waiting for those promised stars, as many as the grains of sand.
Child of the Creator,
with the mind, body, and heart He made for you, you continue His wonders in this world
and we know that your story is still being written.
Branch of the Burning Bush,
Imago Dei!
Would you give us a moment to
remove our sandals,
receive your story,
pass on the light of His fire in your heart
to set the world ablaze?
WANT TO WALK WITH US?
