As the sun rose on the day
that the ferry would carry us homeward
we gathered up the treasures
of time spent in community
with those who simply “get it”
packing them carefully away
to be unwrapped at our leisure
in those moments given to ponder.
Perhaps in this week that we call holy
we will take time to contemplate
gifts of laughter and tears
and graces of wisdom and insight.
And as we follow
and lead others
to the foot of the cross
and beyond
to Resurrection
may we be reminded yet again
of all that draws us
to a life of love and service
and with renewed purpose
may our steps be joyful
and our words be hopeful
as we proclaim the mystery of faith
Christ has died
Christ is risen
Christ will come again.
