gospel 3: Peace. Be Still.
Do you really not know that I AM With You – always – even to the end of time? I AM with you when you feel you are drowning, sinking, perishing. I AM seeing your fears, and your fear of fear itself.

day 21
Your green all dissipated and dissolved, you part company with freshness and sap, suddenly alone and falling. Down and down, lower you swoop, till the ground greets you.

advent apertures 2019: Sunday 3
I walk early down a muddied fire road on the flank of the mountain. Facing east as I turn toward home in the predawn dark, only the softest light has begun to pearl the horizon.
