Saturday, September 6, 2014 — Listen

I work with Kairos Outside, a ministry to women impacted by the incarceration of a loved one. Our “motto” is ‘Listen Listen Love Love.’

Teach me to hear that story,
through each person,
to cradle a sense of wonder
in their life,
to honour the hard-earned wisdom
of their sufferings,
to waken their joy
that the King of all kings
stoops down
to wash their feet,
and looking up
into their face
says,
‘I know – I understand.’
