Be in love with life

Wrestle with the chaos and the pain,

with yourself and others,

spirit echoing Spirit,

trusting in the victory of the vulnerable,

glimpsing the peace,

the wholeness, the spaciousness,

the justice and the joy

that comes from following the Pioneer

made perfect in suffering,

striving and yearning and crying out

from the very depths and height of the world’s anguish

and the world’s bliss,

and so becoming friends and partners

of God in divine creating.
