Trust & Hope
Where do God, Grace hide?
Here, and there, and everywhere.
Up to good old tricks.
…
Awesome, amazing,
among all that’s possible.
Coincidental?
…
Uncertainty, doubt.
We know little, if at all.
Ergo, faith and hope.
…
Yes, to trust fully.
Yes, to surrender, let go.
Yes, holding high hopes.
…
Faith and trust and hope
inspire, and instigate.
They turn on the lights.
…
Investing it all,
guided by the bright North Star.
We take the next step.
…
The way is scary,
the path is steep, treacherous.
Hope, fuel for the road.
…
To inhale with trust,
to sigh with faith in goodness,
and to smile with hope.
To await with faith.
To trust the guidance given.
To release, let go.
…
Bridges link and span,
reach out to the other side,
in good faith, trusting.
…
Fearful and furious,
we scare and hurt each other,
while Mother Earth burns.
Faithful and curious,
we soothe, care for each other,
and Mother Earth heals.
…
Awesome planet Earth,
what are we doing to you?
Amazing. Ailing.
…
Entrusting them all.
Flora, fauna, mineral.
Hoping they make it.
We turn them to You.
Human beings and planet Earth.
We will do our part.
…
Eager, expectant,
standing vigil patiently.
Hanging hope on hope.
…
Minimum wage work.
Some buy lottery tickets.
Hoping against hope.
…
We don’t know enough
to call it quits and give up.
Hope improves our odds.
Goodness bets on hope,
trusting we won’t drop the case.
That’s how progress works.
…
Take on all comers,
in our hearts as in commerce,
with faith and courage.
…
Trusting the Goodness,
or, better said, the isness,
helps us face the rest.
…
Blinded by bright light,
we can see with more than eyes,
and take the next step.
We give ourselves up,
to surprise, to joy, to awe,
and take a blind leap.
…
Things do, will settle.
Meanwhile, there's tasks, errands, breath.
Every fresh new day.
…
Trusting bestows hope,
what was good is then enhanced.
Sister, brother, dance!
