Gathering words for Sunday
it starts as the smallest flicker
an imagining inside you
a hint that pulls towards justice
and like a heartbeat it never
goes away
and is grasps you
your whole soul
heaving with the longing
the deep intent for justice and
life
and then the thought
the working out
the decision to choose
the mind wrestling with the
longing
which leads to the movement
the action that turns longing
into an event
that pushes you out with strength
and makes God into a verb
and all this is for neighbour
neighbour
which is the other word for God
come now all God’s People
to love with heart and soul, mind
and strength
and neighbour as self
and set God loose in the world
