Open hearts
Open hands
A lot of Grace
A little panic
A lot of patience
Some impatience
Aggressive softness
Aggressive firmness
Lots of noise
A moment of silence
Confusion
Clarity
Confusion
Time standing still
Time pushing
Life moving, slipping, sliding
A final squeeze
A cry
Al…le…lu…ya!
Living in relationship
The spark of love in any occurrence;
the green tips of skinny branches preparing to leaf;
the moment of potential before turning;
Life coming into being.
