Meditation for Ash Wednesday, 2017

The following is a poem I wrote in 2015. I was reminded of it in prayer as I began this holy (and my favorite season) of Lent. May you be blessed.

Love is a rock

Sometimes love is a rock
cut and clear
with a rough crown –
there should always be a rough crown.

Formed of the earth
infused with divine breath,
found by accident
and molded with the skill
of the artist,
this love is a rock
cut and clear
with a rough crown.

It waits for the one who is
alive and dead
to come and connect.
And when she arrives
the artist recognizes her
and offers her
the love
which is a rock
cut and clear
with a rough crown.
