I too have had my own revivals
why,
just today a stone over my heart was rolled away
as friends listened to me with
an unspoken I believe you
an unspoken I believe in you
and I
like everyone else
have been betrayed by others
and worst yet
by myself
and I have been the persecutor too
by my ignorance
by thinking my way was the only way
my truths have been denied
and I have denied others their truths
but I am coming to see with eyes
that have grown sharper in the dark
during nights of excavation
only to find there are others outside
freed from their own cramped spaces
waiting
trusting
sending good faith
saying surprise me
surprise yourself
come out of your cave
with a holy transformation
tell us about it
about the light and the dark
and how you moved the stones
let us celebrate a soul who has come back to life
for it seems the miracles I know
are as human and as ordinary
as what we are and can be for each other:
an example and witness of daily resurrection
