The future screams in our arms!
Maybe they know what’s coming for them,
I hope not.
For now they are pure joy,
Newness incarnate
Mindful without effort.
We laugh as they discover everything,
Literally everything:
Toes, poop, sugar, grief…
Blessed Holy Wholeness,
We welcome this child into the One-ness!
May they save the world
And have lots of fun.
Amen
