View from my window with cancer: OR Sickness Unto Life

2012-11-14 17.38.48

Just imagine/

my perennial failure and refusal to/

inhabit God/

I don’t mean go to church/

or lead church/

or dictate spirit/

I mean/

indwell/

and dwell in/

the Living/

Loving God/

Maybe my failure to do so/

Invites God to inhabit my life/

and the only way to get/

my full attention/

because I just won’t be/

still/

with God/

the only way to make me/

stop and look/

is a form of something/

I once called affliction/

until I realized/

the holy version of life/

is that every crisis/

sickness/

betrayal/

disaster/

failure/

is God’s best opportunity/

for a new life of love/

a golden sun setting last chance/

all over again and again/

to begin all over again/
