Trinity
Trinity
If we can be certain that we know that God is one, God is Creator
yet fail to see the joy of forgiveness, reconciliation and growth in the human spirit:
then we are standing firmly in one place
and unable to move to where we need to be
If we revel in the reality of forgiveness and owning our past
– that world where we were created to be
without a mind to the future and the potential of what could be
then we are standing firmly in one place
and unable to move where we need to be
If we dismiss the potential that both change and decay can bring
and the reality of newness of life coming from inspired resurrection
of life from the experience of yore
entering into a spring of infinite budding
then we are standing firmly in one place
and unable to move to where we need to be
We could move from one to another and see the possibility of other
or we could dare to move to where the creative, redeeming and growth
intersect in a small place called potential:
a promised land of new growth,
a promised life of everlasting consequence
and a promised embodiment of spiritual fortitude for others to reap and sow
Trinity moves us from our solid ground
to stand barefoot on the sacred and fertile place
that is to be in the fullness of God
and dares us,
broken, sinful, unworthy as we are
to make a difference singularly and communally
for a better world,
glimpsing the hidden abeyant capacity
within a fuller understanding of divine providence
But dare I remove my sandals and move to where I need to be;
to allow the intimacy of being in the presence
of the enigmatic divine
permeate the very sole of my soul,
as my skin embodies holy ground
and then to include me in a movement
that will always be what it will be?
