Way to go

2022 • tuned June 2026
When we keep
God as our sight
we can see how the darkness
gives way to the light.

We are
here and now
grains of sand and wheat,
allegories and little stories
made up by you and me,
running to and from the same direction,
light on two feet.

We are the saint at the steering wheel
and the seeker thumbing a ride,
the prodigal and the porch light,
the same road, side by side.
Every face in the passing crowd
is an Eve, is an Adam, is a wholly trinity,
each of us carrying, best we can,
a little eternity.

Peace, love, joy in one pocket,
sorrow loose in the other,
we are all saints,
we are all looking to score,
and the score, it turns out, was never
points — it was a song all along.

Some miles in, you stop.
You stand still on the shoulder
while the whole sky goes on ahead of you,
and you notice the way
was under your feet
the entire time,
patient as a path can be.

To borrow a line from brother Bob,
You ain’t goin’ nowhere.
There ain’t no where to go,
only way.
