Who are you:
the bird to the tree
or the tree to the bird?
The song or the sanctuary?
Who are you:
the sun to the sky
or the sky to the sun?
The spotlight or the stage?
Who are you:
the pen to the paper
or the paper to the pen?
The creativity or the inspiration?
Who are you:
the love of imagination
or the imagination of love?
The stuff of breath or the stuff of dreams?
Who are you:
the life that makes all things good
or the goodness that gives all things life?
Beginning? End? All things or no one thing?
Who are you?
You are within and without,
might and mystery and movement,
and to me: the most faithful of surprises.
on Mark 8:29a
