a trip to the desert
barren
dry
heat reaching into
marrow
to live vertically
looking up in virtual vision
of the Other
ready to leave behind
aching trappings
of layered life
and then journey back
to begin again
new horizontal life
arms outstretched
to the world
this
this was pastoring not with words
or gestures
but with a very public human life
showing
the way and the Way
for us
and always
always
with eyes that engage
smile that warms
and hands that bless with a touch
