Paradox

Monday in Holy Week

Give me the joy of your saving help again

and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.

Psalm 51:13

I cross the threshold

into the incongruity of this week;

contradiction, the welcome mat

ambiguity overshadows the path ahead

even at the end of this journey

I am supplied with bounty

gratitude in the midst of despair

joy dancing with sorrow

solace fashioned out of fatigue

the handiwork of salvation
