Ephesians 3:14 encourages us to explore the expansiveness of God's love, the breadth, the height, the length, and the depth, both overflowing and rooted, ours for the receiving. Because I try not to personify God, I do not imagine a being expressing his or her love in a tangible, sensory way that I can see, hear, smell, taste, or touch. I can, however, notice the manifestation of that love in the landscape of my every day living:
Breadth of autumnal sunshine
and the five year old
neighbor boy's call
to come out
and play ball.
Towering circle of cedar ~
there is no ceiling
to Your love.
Moonlight and shadow ~
oh the length of You
arched long along
my living room floor,
arms open in a transept
of receptivity.
Even in the darkest depths
a porch light shines
somewhere
here or there
guiding me home.
