What If? –

[madrush (Marco V Morelli)]

Thank you for the beautiful poems/prayers, @DiShearer. It’s wonderful to hear that you and @grannyjan might be getting together in person. Please share a picture if you do!

These words especially spoke to me, and feel related to the conversation we had on “Chaos, Crisis, and Creativity” a few months ago. However, the poem as a whole evokes not only the Christian mystics, but also Rabindranath Tagore, Ramkrishna, and others. I could use some of this energy right now. Thank you for sharing!

@DiShearer

We want to step into the slip-stream of blessed unrest.
We want to experience divine dissatisfaction.
We want to wake up and grow up.

The sacred unfolding of Spirit in space and time
… is your divine strategy for making a world,
for making a community,
for bringing kinship and peace.

So let ‘balanced turbulence’ be our constant dwelling-place,
Not rushing ahead in chaotic mismanagement,
Nor pulling back in reluctant resistance.

May your energy re-vitalise us!
May your compassion re-energise us!
May your love surround and indwell us!

So that we may be the presence of the sacred story unfolding in space and time!
So that having squandered our inheritance …
… we may be the prodigal returning home to serve!
So that we may know we are kin to all that is!

May we be alive to new imaginings of your world!
May we be ready to make a creative difference!
In the name of the Cosmic Christ! Amen!
