Convenience binds us

time is coveted

fear of being wasted

We linger not

But are

free to waste

longing

for peace

attaining

emptiness

so push more

drive further, faster, achieve…..

But the kingdom of God says

Knead the bread

wait for rising

Be present

awaken to the intoxicating story of

Christ ushering in the kingdom

Eavesdrop

on creation

as the trees and the wind and the stars with the cycles of light sing out

humanity’s song

Listen

Stop the busyness of convenience

and be

still
