a blessing for the end of a space next week
if this is where you are:
in land that is arid
in a world where no life can be found
if you have no hope left to believe,
then let your faith simply be this:
that the failure and grief and fear
that carve your landscape,
are not the only truth there is
and that a story of love
with its promise of life
might, in spite of you,
somehow be real.
