What does it mean that Jesus is Lord and Caesar is not? What does it mean to follow Jesus into this world? What does it mean to be filled, led, empowered by the Spirit of Jesus? Hmmm ...

Playing with poetry again
The wisdom to know the difference
There are the things you can change
and the things you can't
wind and trajectory and range
and the tremor
Entrust your soul to that far target
Know the things you can't
Fit your body to shot, don't forget
Discipline each quiver
Squeeze, the tripped trigger, let it go
and the things you can't
so you just release it, the flow
and the inevitable shake
Twilight on a covered bridge, breath
and there are things you can't
face beyond pictures, breath
trembling paths of touch
Textures, warmth, honey and wine
poured out, you can't
just be, just be there, be mind
shivering in the summer heat
Shut it down. Close your eyes.
The things you can't.
Be. Have. The silent bird flies
Away. For now. The far target.
The tremor.
