Because
We are Here
In
This World
Right Now
Even
Maybe Especially when
It feels like
Everything is on fire
Deep breath in
Deep breath out
I am here
I am present
My body is worth
being present for
God wants me
to be present
So God bless this Mess
Ashes I began
Ashes I’ll return
Life is messy
Dirty
Full of ashes
fire
renewals
Grappling with Mortality
Tis hard
Grappling with reality
is Hard
But
it’s ok
to be
fully human
to cry
To sit
in the dirt
sometimes
and wonder
will anything grow?
God sits
with us too
Rub a little dirt in it
maybe
the reality
the visceral mundanity
of life
We are
only
blessedly
beautiful
Ashes
and to
Ashes
We will Return
Life is Messy
Amen
