Today’s text

Mathew 25:13 

Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.

Ask why

Blinded by pretension

of sight, nothing is seen but

the surface sheen the arrogant

mind imagines is all

that is, when all that is

hides the One Love present

playing behind, beneath.

beyond and within all that is.

Blind eyes do not ask why

there is anything at all,

why life, or why this

crazy love, irresistible

magnetic, drawing the yearning

heart home as sun glow

illumines the art of autumn

leaves from far horizon,

earth’s star setting once more,

sweetest light of day, caressing

earth’s wonder, delighting

hearts one last time before

dieing in the purple night to

spring again from eastern shore,

light of tomorrow opening our

eyes to miracles, no

just one, to the Love

who makes us human, alive, free,

glowing within with light whose

Source no eye can see,

no mind can know.

Then, illumined and alive,

finally sighted and hope-filled, 

we know this is the day, this 

the hour of salvation; Eternal 

Love, who always is, welcomes

us again to know … and live

a life of knowing why,

why life, why this crazy

love yearning for home, why

the dieing light makes art 

of autumn afternoons

Pr. David L. Miller
