Does God get wet
22/10/20 15:39
Does God get wet when walking on water?
Do his toes feel the cold of the wave?
Or does he wear some transcendent oil-skin
- and wellies
to make his passage across the chaos of our lives?
No, I think not.
For he is incarnate as we are;
and enveloped in his Creation.
He comes to us just as he is;
to us, just as we are.
Only he is more at home
on our waves
than we ourselves.
So, with the Wind of the Word
Storms are stilled;
and peace,
which passeth all understanding,
calms our very being.

Presence

Your presence is my
Lasting,
Longing
Heart-rending desire.
I am held in you meniscus
Cradled,
Crescent-shape
In your “amen”.

Walking on Water

I wonder, as I journey
What waves will wash
Over this thin hull of mine?
What wind of breath
Will set my course,
Will salt my brow?
My coracle is born
For the ocean —
It must go where it’s
Sail will drive.
I wonder as God walks
Upon these chaotic waters of mine
When I shall step out upon the swell
And he and I be one?
What waves will wash
Over this thin hull of mine?
What wind of breath
Will set my course,
Will salt my brow?
My coracle is born
For the ocean —
It must go where it’s
Sail will drive.
I wonder as God walks
Upon these chaotic waters of mine
When I shall step out upon the swell
And he and I be one?
