There’s a Lot of Loud


There’s a lot of loud
distracting and drowning out.

But I’m convinced by wisdom
clothed in stillness.

The kind of truth found hiding in plain sight
in ordinary things
and extraordinary moments.

A word in season.

Eye contact.

The scrape of a paring knife on a potato.
A pile of peels.

A man standing at a kitchen sink
washing supper dishes.

Fresh bread.

Homemade soup.

Weekly rhythm.

Even now.

Especially now.

I’m a writer, reader, and creative. I thought by now I’d have things figured out, but I keep coming up with more questions. I think that’s okay. I’m here most mornings pondering ordinary things and the thin places where faith intersects.
