Easter Monday

EMBRACE THE LIGHT!  

Flashes of Light  

Glimpses of Glory                                                                      

This is the way

God assures us His story.

Tetelestai…

It is finished...

Accomplished!

What wonder!

How could I doubt…

What lies for me yonder?

Never a doubt

Of His infinite love

As pools of His grace

Descend as a Dove.

Flashes of Light,

Glimpsing His face.

My surety lies,

In this seal of His grace.

Light warm and gentle

Pooling with grace,

Flashes of majesty

With mercy embrace.

By the contrasting lights

Of Nature’s embrace

The light of His countenance

Mirrors my space

Look and you’ll see it,

On each other’s face.

Glimpses of Glory,

Reflecting His grace.

EMBRACE THE LIGHT!

G Taliotis

Out of Darkness comes light 

Out of the dark tomb came Christ, 

Out of darkness sprouts the seedling...

I do not understand ..am unaware ..will not accept...do not want go there...

I do not want to embrace that dark part before the light.

I want to clutch it to myself.. wallow in it... 

Or..... not be part of it at all...

   Embrace lightly: Open,

then fling free and wide...

to embarce that Light!

Emerge through the deep

to embrace the light...

if only I could look up and see..

It is hard. Hard life.

Out of life's sorrows, I reach past to embrace the light

but it is so hard.. Is it really there? the light?

Sometimes I do not recognize the light for what it is.. 

Like the disciples,

on the road to Emmaus,

Like Mary and the "Gardner - Rabonni"

Hard stuff, sometimes, to embrace the light..
