The law of God

is not a gate you make it through,

not a finish line you attain.

It is the road toward relationships

of healing, blessing and justice.

 

The law of God

is not a target you can hit or miss.

It is the bow that shoots you

toward perfect love.

 

The law of God

is a metaphor

for awe

which you wonder about out loud

until you become

a metaphor for love.
