Surely Knot

Photo by Carie Turner
Beware the snare
of certitude.
The smaller your circle
of surety, the tighter
your weave of absolutism,

the more likely you are
to exclude some chapters
of the divine story.

If I've learned one thing
about the scope and purpose
of life itself, it's that

there's always more
than I imagined.
The great surprise
of God is surprise itself.

Paradise approaches
as I loosen the noose,
releasing the need
to control the field and direction
of the universe's expansion.
