How do we move along
the life-cycle continuum from
identity-by-productivity
to retirement? By resting in
grace.
Not by devaluing accomplishments,
real or imagined.
Not with bifurcation
of being and doing,
as if life is an
either/or proposition.
Perhaps the integration
of motion and matter
offers us a clue:
even when it appears
that a solid is motionless,
there is constant movement
at the molecular level.
As time pedantically marches
onward,
making us feel increasingly left
behind,
may we more and more find
and rest in the energy of
creation,
trusting God to finish and
redirect
our own history and efforts
into the universe’s holy
purposes.
