The Art of Parable-Listening
ah, yes
"the kingdom of god"
consider the whole the separates make
first: scatter
the seed of the kingdom is the act of
love
we are extravagant in the casting
second: the mystery of growth
we hold to our integrity
day and night
the power of love is beyond our ken
it blooms like the unfolding rose
in ways that startle us
third: life is transformed
we wonder at love's fruit
peace, joy, compassion, dignity, freedom,
wholeness of self
union with all things
someone?

the mustard bush shelters
and embraces
