Whispers of Thunder
Do not despair, never give up hope for yourself
or for one another. Bitter enemies and lost friends
can become friends again. Love that has grown cold
can kindle and burst into flame…
Rejoice in the impossibilities,
the incompletions,
from within which alone the future is shaped
and given meaning.
Listen to the whisper of the thunder on a different shore…
Be in love with life,
Wrestle with the chaos and the pain,
with yourself and with others,
spirit echoing Spirit,
trusting in the victory of the vulnerable,
glimpsing the peace,
the wholeness,
the spaciousness,
the justice,
and the joy
that comes from following the Pioneer
made perfect in suffering,
striving and yearning and crying out
from the very depths and heights
of the world’s anguish and the world’s bliss,
and so becoming friends and partners of God
in the divine creating…
Jesus, carpenter of Nazareth, risen Lord,help us yield to the amazing, inviting truththat those who hold on to their life will lose it,but those who let go of their life will find it.
Amen.
