Stretch

Stretch
grow
there is more space inside of you.
more room,
for breath
to dig deeper and

Expand
those folded crumpled wings
Let them see the sun
absorb it’s warmth
and dry
so they can hold the wind
and fly.

Unfolding aches sometimes
as life trickles into
unfamiliar spaces
uncomfortable places
reaching past what’s known
in faith to better things.

Arms flung wide
face to the sky
receive,
all the orange and crimson and gold
all that’s earth and open air
all the roots and tender shoots
and all the life that’s there

Take in
let out
stretch and grow,
There is more space, inside of you.
You are so much more than you know.

1Peter 2:2
You’ve had a taste of God. Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God’s pure kindness. Then you’ll grow up mature and whole in God.
