Brothers and sisters
wait and watch
life unfolds in the retelling,
whose story comes to us?
They are man and woman, like us:
naivete and desire led to our rupture,
what is it now?
Today, what maintains this rupture,
Today, what rebuilds?
Lord, teach us, today,
Today, reveal what is an alternative:
two ways are set before us
life and death, blessing and cursing,
a world devouring, a world renewing
we are caught like deers in the headlights
between two worlds
Today, we would heal this rupture,
Today, turn toward life,
Lord, keep us, today,
Today, walk with us
and set our feet upon life's way.
