New York River

Under scaffolding,
over oncoming--
tilt, bob, weave--
a torrent of umbrellas
splashes down the street.




“This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid,

grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant,

greeting God with a childlike ‘What’s next, Papa?’                                                                                                    

God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. 

We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children.” 

                               Paul’s message to the church 

                             Romans 8:15-16 (The Message)
