For the Valley Pastoral Counseling Center Spring Newsletter

I Do Not Know
I do not know how winter seeps into brittle earth slowly thawing.
I do not know how brown drought under pearly-sheen white blanket suddenly springs Vibrant.
I just curl under blanket white, shivering and hoping for spring.
I do not know how Life grows.
I do not know how green shoots shove aside black earth to Light.
I do not know how power shimmers in an Empty tomb.
It is not me; that much I know. I could not do this. Could not make it happen.
Even if I really wanted to. And I do… I do, so want to make it happen.
But I cannot. I must simply watch and wait, breathing until something Bursts forth.
Resurrected and Newly Alive.
I do not know how Life grows.
