Have we failed again?
Oppressed under the weight of our own “correctness”
Where there is this life in all its fullness
We hear about so much?
We remind ourselves –
We write and speak about this life and freedom
Perhaps like a mirage in the desert:
Tantalizingly close yet never realized
Looking so real yet without substance
Jesus calls us to remove our uniforms of rules and conformity
And to dive naked into the pool of liberty
Bask and splash, soak and drink
There's plenty there for all!
