ever be sure?
I think not.

Prayer, ideas, words,
these help to draw you closer;
it isn’t with the unreal
that I talk in the darkness
and walk in the light.

I jumped – and landed
in your country
your way of seeing
of touching
a long time back;
and despite the mind’s questioning
I am still here
found
and yet still searching.

Ruth Burgess

Credo

Theologically speaking I’m one of the awkward squad,
always asking questions
or questioning answers;
it’s uncomfortable for all concerned,
especially me.
I wish it wasn’t so;
wish I could tuck myself up in tradition,
snuggle down into certainty,
learn to trust,
but I don’t know how –
don’t even know what the God-word means to me now.
I do know love when I meet it though.
Oh yes, I recognise Love.
