Caressing the spine, running up and down sublime,
Private time alone, a smile within, subduing,
Knowing the mockery of life, the anger of imperfection,
Impediments, surrender to simplicity, grieve,
Nothing new under the sun, seeking nothing extreme, nothing to hold up for others,
You challenge me to be so bold, everything unfolds into poverty, leading on into…
Alone acquiescing, retiring into the soul unafraid, allow the pain,
Grace, distance, space between time, birth and death,
Breathing, the Eucharist radiating, emotion evanescent, disappearing,
Eternal, a moment in time, prayer passing beyond, resplendent, withdrawn,
No place else to be, no place else attracts, no place else to dwell,
Home, the Church, ceasing to be as I begun, set apart,
Marriage, a bride too immense to be properly embraced, a community of sisters effaced,
Love, silence voicing the emotion, hymns sounding the celebration, mass offering the sacrifice,
With, in, and through,
Communion, adoration, one-on-one, a personal relationship, contemplation, weakness, insufficiency, fortitude, confiding in confidence, a confession,
Incense burning, Holy Spirit hovering, Father unchanging, Son waiting, Mother dispensing,
Everything comes together at rest,
Everything comes together gradually,
Everything comes together through patience,
Everything comes together through practice,
Everything comes together in trust.
Everything comes together in confidence,
Everything comes together in faith,
Everything comes together in hope,
Everything comes together in charity,
Unification, slow, steady, and difficult,
