of course there are some times
when you know you are standing on holy ground
when a bush burns without burning up
or a voice compels you to take off your shoes
or you lift your eyes to the heavens
stunned at what you hear in a night sky
echoing forward through all of your days
but there are times
when it only shimmers when you look backwards
like the road trip through Jasper
when Mount Robson
slipped in through the rearview mirror
and you wonder how mountains
play hide and seek
or you play marbles with a two year old
trying to find the logic in
the ways the marbles are moved
listening to the precise words
a running sound track of the game
and you wonder how a child with no sin
navigated through two
what did holiness look like in Mary's house
how did he navigate his discovery of color
and depth and taste
and sounds of words
word of life
learning to speak
creator of the universe
shaped clay into life and breath
little hands picking up little stones
