faith enough to let go and be caught by grace....

Faith is believing in something when common sense tells you not to.

- From the movie, "Miracle On 34th Street"

We hang around in clusters

clinging

thinking our world will never change

when

suddenly

something

starts to bubble up,

trickle up,

an electric surge,

an unexplainable urging

and

we do it...

let go of what we know,

decide to turn loose

and

 let our clinging hands rest for a bit.

fear begins to emulsify

mix in with the heat of potentiality,

fingers open,

and

we fall

alone

blown wherever the wind goes,

to the left,

to the right,

we wonder if we just might die,

might not make it...

afraid of where we will land,

when something

undeniably mystical

moves from somewhere we can not explain

and

we feel ourselves begin to float

in a direction we never expected....

no apparent rhyme or reason

and

It---grace---it catches us,

hold us,

nurtures us

.....

grace

it catches us,

then

faith encourages us

to trust again

and if we have courage enough

we let go

and

it all starts over again.

may we all acknowledge

that thing

that tiny little thing that keeps us holding on

and

open our clinging hands

and

let grace catch us

it will you know..

catch us

go on...

let go...

you won't fall...something will catch you

i promise.

blessings and hugs
