3rd Sunday in Lent

Luke 13:1-9

I don’t feel good
I hurt
and in looking for a why
I find
a them evil has befallen
and I grin
with the assumed connection of
they’ll get theirs
and I feel better somehow
for now
and then I must search again
for a someone
who
in their pain
makes my hurt
less
for now
then through the foggy mist
of my prayer dreams
I hear a voice of God
calling me to repent
calling me to hurt
for the them
calling me to forgiveness
calling me to love
in the midst of my hurt
and feel for the first time
my pain truly disappearing
I think
but I don’t have time to worry about that now
someone needs me.
