FROM THE BEGINNING

Quoting
“His friend, Paula D’Arcy”
Richard Rohr writes
“God comes to you
Disguised as your Life”.

OK: point taken.
The pinball dynamics
Of  Mind, Heart and Soul
Are bumped or tilted
By prosaic vicissitudes.

The Chattering Mind
The Questing Heart
And the Ethereal Soul
Are only Ever
Organized into Coherence

By an Awakening
To the deep Unconscious:
Its depths plumbed
By the Profane Accidents
Of our Existence.

Powerless to intercede
On our own behalf
We await
The Intercession
Of Divine Grace.

For only upon provision
Of a ‘Stumbling Stone’
Can we overcome
Our Quotidien preoccupations
And journey into Soulfulness.

Then we fully
Accept, as Rohr writes:
“The Spirit that has been
Hovering over our Chaos
From the Beginning”.
