third sunday of eastertide


Beloved, I am writing you no new commandment, but an old commandment that you have had from the beginning;” 1 John 2:7a

convinced we are
shaped out of
glory’s grit,
hope’s lint,
cinders of compassion,
and flakes of faith,
show us the sawdust
from the 2 x 4s of love
you used to craft
all of creation, reminding us
‘there are your ancestors’
