Weather not always balmy
obstacles appear
amid swirling wind and storms
former experiences illumine
strong ropes:
faith, hope, love
Biblical passages apply over centuries
these guide
provide balance
become sources
of courage and strength
when mountains overwhelm
grasp ropes tightly
I Corinthians 13
“ And now these three remain: faith, hope, love. But the greatest
of these is Love.”

Today’s words are most fitting for our days of isolation, quarantine, and yet filled hope for the future. As the Beatles sang, “All We Need is Love.”
I really appreciate the simply stated lines of this poem that bring me back to the profound truth of what really matters in life. So grounding, particularly in the times we face right now.
Thank you, Lynn, for the timely reminder. These are the very things I want to grow in.
