THE WAY

 

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”


John 14:6

 
 

The Way

 

Wonder. Wander. 

Live the questions.

Be wholly you,

At home in yourself.

Vulnerable, honest,

Ready to wrestle

And walk with a limp.


Celebrate. Lament.

Remember. Sing.

Make peace with

The unresolved,

Not knowing.

Discover unlearning

And re-writing

In the making.


Find companions.

Share stories.

Recognise light 

And shadow.

See yourself in the other.

Be wrong.

Forgive

Even when they know what they’re doing.

Learn to be human 

Like he was.


Love as you are loved, fiercely.

Embody faith, gracefully.

Live open-heartedly.

De-clutter regularly.

Surrender often.

Treasure his company

As you see each new horizon.
