Full of Resurrections

“It is not over,
this birthing.
There are always newer skies
into which
God can throw stars.”
― Ann Weems, Kneeling in Bethlehem

“The world…is full of resurrections… Every night that folds us up in darkness is a death; and those of you that have been out early, and have seen the first of the dawn, will know it – the day rises out of the night like a being that has burst its tomb and escaped into life.”― George MacDonald, The Seaboard Parish

To pursue change and be changed
Give and receive
Seeing the same in a new way, as if for the first time
Looking longer, digging deeper
To bud and bloom, again and again
Open to awe
Anticipation woven into a new day
Amidst all of the complexities
Simple childlike wonder
Poetry and prose
Unfolding, this world continues, never done
Full of resurrections.

“The dignity of the artist lies in his duty of keeping awake the sense of wonder in the world.”― G.K. Chesterton
