fourth monday of eastertide


“At the same time pray for us as well that God will open to us a door for the word, that we may declare the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison, so that I may reveal it clearly, as I should.” Colossians 3:3-4

having finished the game
we scramble the letters
back into the box, and
put it back into the closet,
but h, p, g, a, o, l, e, v, j
and all the others keep
pushing and pushing
until the box falls onto
the floor, the lid pops off
and love
hope
grace
peace
joy
justice
can slip out the front
door to turn cartwheels
throughout the world.
