Leaning toward Sunday,
Tilting away from Friday,
Today is a forward-slash.
A hyphen won’t suffice.
An and/or proposal,
Crux of a both/and scenario.
This end of a Holy Week,
Feels likes an ellipsis…
This Saturday,
Post back lash,
pre-punctuation scars.
This in-between
where faith hyper ventilates
and doubt choke holds.
Where a stone weights
the wounds of the world.
Friday/Sunday
Before/After
Death/Resurrection
Both/And.

I’m glad it’s /
Rather than \
When we’re caught in \
We’ve lost hope
When we have /
We anticipate resurrection.
Forward slash!
Reblogged this on Gerald the Writer and commented:
Ah, the in between. Hope differed.
We keep leaning forward because we have hope.
We keep leaning forward because this is not a mystery story.
We keep leaning forward because we live with God’s promise.
We keep leaning forward because we know this ends in victory of the resurrection.
We keep leaning forward because our choice is to lean on God.
Lean into God through Jesus Christ. Amen
