LINES INSPIRED BY RICHARD ROHR

Sit with the stones.

Take them up in your hands

and give yourself

a chance to see as God sees.

You were blind

to reverence for the sinner

but that is what brought you here.

It's not what you write

that frightens you,

it's that other thing

the greater problematic joy--

Christ suffering inside you.
