At Home in the Dark

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
for making it clear
that life is not about improving
myself
or anyone else.

Blessed are You
for not bettering me
so much as standing with me,
proving by Your presence
that nothing is needed
except love.

Blessed are You,
Lord our God,
King of the Universe,
for Your love unflinching,
beyond logic and practicality,
beyond physical and emotional limits.
You leaned lovingly into death
and took up Your life again in love,
demonstrating that love
is at home in the dark
and in the light—
improbable,
unstoppable,
enough.
