Ephesians 4:1-3


I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Humility
(Linger)
Gentleness
(here)
Patience
(one moment)
Love
(and let)
Unity
(the words)
Peace
(speak.)

Take a deep breath
and hold it and listen.

Let these words move
and flow through you.

That knocking,
that drumming,
that pounding—

that frantic pounding—
in your ears,
is your heart begging
for oxygen, begging you
not just to breathe,

but to move,
to get up,
to stop being afraid,
to answer the call,
to be that call.

Humble
(Now)
Gentle
(let go)
Patient
(let your breath)
Loved
(out.)
Unified
(Smile now)
Peaceful
(and breathe.)

May God’s love
live within you.

Always and Amen.
