The Sights
to A.V.
Say no to rose colored glasses. The way out is not the way up. The open door back into the world is the way down. We should know that by now. Say yes to good-for-something eyes, eyes wiped by gratitude stained hands, hands dripping from living up to the elbows in the thorns and the magnificence and the fragrance, dear god the bittersweet fragrance of life in this charmed garden of redemption. We are blessed to be here on the ground, night sky without end. Amen.
I am taking all of this in slowly. This feels like one of those days when one leaves church and says, funny I think he wrote that sermon just for me.
This is good, John.
Oh, yes, Amen.
Say no to rose colored glasses.
