brief clarity

those moments of revelation

where a truth comes to you

like a whisper

that could be missed
 if you weren't fully present and tuned in

but this time
this time
 you hear

and you see clearly

what has been revealed

like any good student

you want to share it with others

those who may have already heard or seen it

regardless

it is new to you and you can't be quiet

this realization is too big

to hold onto

your joy comes from 

understanding

a truth

that could slip away if you didn't

sit with it

and give it time to 

be fully known to you

so that you can be

an instrument

stumbling forward

with mere words

to explain

that each breath you take

every song you sing

every seed you sow

every meal you prepare

every word uttered in love

the hugs 

the kisses

that which is made with your own two hands

at work

at play

scrubbing dishes

  cleaning toilets

teaching

learning

serving

accepting help from others

giving to those in need

the tears

the laughter

the very joy that started it all

has brought new understanding

that this life you live

each step of the journey

is the worship.

amen.
