In the Flesh



W
ord who birthed the starfields

births on a stable floor,

vowels that ignited a cosmos

running the veins,

The Word made firm flesh,

with fingers to cut out

the hearts that lie rocks in our chest walls,

and to set into our hard emptiness,

hearts of the pulsing, pulpy flesh,

hot like His,

this God on the ground in the dark,

wet with the womb waters,

with muscle and red-blooded pulse

and a kiss of communion

on His sacrificed

lips.








God in the flesh...


A blessed, hallowed Christmas...
from our hearts to yours,

The Plan



In the experiences of a simple/crazy life,
farming Canadian dirt, raising
half a dozen exuberant kids,
stringing sheets out on the line....

I'm praying to slow and see
the sacred in the chaos,
the Cross in the clothespin,
the flame in the bush.

Just a bit of
listening, laundry, liturgy...
life.
