All This Eternity
Some pray for wisdom
And go mad.
Some pray for health
And are struck down.
Some pray for love
And are left alone.
Some pray for peace
And do not live to see it.
All this eternity
Will level things out someday.

Uncertainty
I do not go to church
But there is no denying the power of place,
A focal point,
A refuge.
I do not wear a cross
But the man on his knees before the image of Crucifixion
Has opened a door,
Willing to change.
I do not read the Bible
But within those pages are awakenings,
A path to realization for some,
Everyday eternity.
How do we tell one another what is necessary,
What is essential?
We are all explorers
Without words for the undiscovered.
Life is too big for complete revelation,
The course of our incarnations too short.
We must embrace uncertainty
As surely as we embrace faith.
