Listen

 Luke 19:28-40 and Luke 22:14-23:56

Today is a day full of the weight of words. We start with one gospel and end with another. We are coated within the words. So listen today.

Listen to the sound of the stream,

as it trips and speaks in silence.

Listen to the sun warm the trees,

as it shows through the branches.

Listen as the dawn breaks,

and the birds sing their greeting.

Welcome morning, welcome all,

lusty songs rising tall.

Listen as the wind sways the trees,

see them dance in life and love.

Listen to the words of death,

as leaves fall, branches break.

Silence can sometimes be the crack

which leads us home to ourselves.
