There are no Ups and Downs,
no Ins and Outs,
no Now and Yet to Come.
For by His throne
and in his wounded side
already we all stand;
We are beyond our death,
we are exposed to all of Light
-of God-
already known to all our
future past
and all our outer depths,
-and we can live
our fullest days
by standing with the Lamb,
our victim,
calling us
out of our murkied minds
abundantly
to All that Knows no End
of Gift.
Our Victim is Our Peace.
Begin! Come in!.
(reflection on J. Alison Ch.6, of “Raising Abel”)
