Allowing God to untangle me

Here in stillness
Here as you breathe in deeply
Let the presence of God unknot you
And fill your longing

Like the beauty of rain quenching a parched land
Like the sunlight’s warming brightness after the dampness of puddles
Like the tenderness of love’s touch after the brittleness of loneliness
Like a flower opening imperceptibly

Like a bird landing and coming close, unafraid, because in your stillness you are with him
Like a shower of rain washing away caked dust
Like the discovery of a beautiful bulb or perennial when you thought it had gone away
Like the moon reflecting a luminous light

Feel again the truth of God’s life flowing in and out
Untangling you from the inside out
Love unseen, unheard, undeserved, expanding your heart.
