“Deep Dive”
And so maybe in this moment,
when I am overwhelmed,
is not the time to “go deep.”
Maybe, even if one knows how to “go deep,”
right now may not be the time.
Let us cope with the pain of the news each day
before we deep dive into our own
pains, regrets, shortcomings
of yesterday.
There will be time for healing
of our nation, our world, ourselves.
When we take that dive to the depths
of what went wrong, what we learned,
then we can look to the surface.
We will see God’s light, twinkling, calling us
as we float, gently, to the top…
for fresh air.
