Selah,
God
We confess
We confess that
we do not know what to say
or to do
in Light (get it)
of the Transfiguration
We would rather just sit
and bask in it
Or build a monument to it
Or somehow or another
Find a way to stay.
But then the cloud comes
And gifts us
with the relief
the contrast
the much needed
less mind shattering
shadows of shade
Because when God is too much
for us–God shades, Godself from us.
Selah.
And reminds us that
sometimes all we have to do
Is sit still
And be present
And listen
And we think
Maybe
Perhaps
We can go down the mountain after all
(Especially if we aren’t doing it alone)
So here we go God
Down the mountain
Changed
From human
to human
Shaded from God, by God
Still not knowing what Selah means
But feeling it in our very souls
as we inhale the Holy Spirit
and exhale the Holy Spirit
Selah!
