I Believe

 

I run, I leap, I fall, I plunge into the mystery.

Certainty with redundancy has lost its radiance.

It retains no power to attract my heart.

Mystery envelops divinity and

Divinity envelops mystery.

Into that cloud

I must go without hesitation

In trepidation.

I shall be at home there, drawn to God

By God.

And I cannot tell you what I shall find.

Nor can I describe what I see there.

I cannot tell you how or why I know except that

In God's embrace, I am known.

And the love that has taken hold of me has held me tightly

In the grip of mercy.

And being there and going there and sensing that destiny,

I can somehow remain here

And be here on purpose

And in community celebrate the joy

Of another world

That makes sense of this world.

I do believe it God.

I believe in God even when God is silent.

And I rest in that peace that passes understanding.

Amen.
