Really like this poem What would happen if I pursued God-? If I filled my pockets with openness, Grabbed a thermos half full of fortitude, And crawled into the cave of the Almighty Nose first, eyes peeled, heart hesitantly following Until I was face to face With the raw, pulsing beat of Mystery What if I entered and it looked different Than anyone ever described? What if the cave was too large to be fully known? Far to extensive to be comprehended by one person or group, Too vast for dogma or doctrine? Whould I shatter at such a thought? Perish from paradox or puzzle? Shrink and shrivel pefore the power? Would God be deminished if I lived a question rather than a statement of faith? Would I lose my faith as I discovered the magnitude of Grace? O, for the willingness to explore To leave my tiny vocabulary at the entrance And stand before you naked Stripped of pretences and rigidity Disrobed of self righteousness and tidy packages, Striped of all that holds me at a distance from you and your world Strip me O God Then clothe me in curiosity and courage.
