“I need shelter for the night, please take me inside your

My time is so close.”

Then, under the roof of your soul, you will witness the
sublime
intimacy, the divine, the Christ

As God grasps our arm for help’ for each of us is
His beloved servant
never far.

We are called in this time of waiting to recognize
that God’s slow guiding hand grasps our own and draws us closer. No longer are
we passive observers waiting on the sidelines but we are drawn into God’s

God’s creative dance of salvation. Do we want to join in the dance which plays
rainbows on the sky?
