Asking the right questions


 Mark 10:51

Then Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “My teacher, let me see again.”


Confounding the critics

who assert that Jesus’ healing

upset the economy

disrupted the income 

of folk who relied on the charity 

of those around them

Jesus asks: What do you want me to do for you

Ceding control

Making space for options

Oh that our faith was similarly spacious

making room for diversity

in all its forms

But that takes humility

and the acknowledgement

that we don’t have answers

especially when we don’t even know

the right questions to ask.
