Learning to Believe

Let’s put delight on our to-do list today Afterall, there is not enough time in this life for all this beauty: for spring that is here, and then gone for red buds on brown trees, suddenly everywhere for singing together, out loud, and in public for this noticing of life, and death, this paying attention and for this chance, to begin again We are already past due on this party this praising of everything big, and small for this hour, let’s get to work at wonder and joy so big the ancestors feel it we are healing backwards, and dreaming forward Opening our hearts wide, like the sky Letting ourselves be loved, for no good reason Learning to believe it’s possible to receive love like a gift we already have to not turn away and to rejoice like breath for this gift of life that keeps flowing in, and out Come, let us worship together.
