Walking on water

Posted on July 26, 2024 by Rosalind C Hughes

Because the clutch between creation and Creator is solid.
Because the Word that spoke light into being fills 
the space between waves and atoms so that none is wasted, 
so that there is not room between one thought of God 
and another to slip between the cracks. 
Because he has knit together wind and water, earth and heaven; 
because he would not dip his sole into that division.
Because mercy is buoyant and humility light. 
Because love, rising, lifts all.

    Always a new angle that turns the old story back into miracle again. Thank you.
