God speaks to each of us as we are created
Then walks silently with us out to the night
These are the words we dimly hear:
You, sent out beyond your recall,
go to the limits of your longing.
Embody me.
Flare up like a flame
and make big shadows I can move in.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Creating God- shaped shadows
takes grace-filled audacity
Inviting participation
in a rhythm that is as old as time
and as new as the dawning day
Way beyond our longings
and all we can know
to partner with the one who made us
and who promises us: there is more
- and you have a part to play
in healing the brokenness of the world
Take my hand
and I will show you how.
May it be so.
