Time to move!

MARGARET TSUDA

Adam's race lives
in a house of contraries
with the usual two doors
marked IN/OUT.
Subtle contradictions
gross ironies
oxymoronic nuances
fill the house.

But you and I—
When we see ourselves
as God's own child—
can move
by Spirit's grace
into a house of harmony
right here/right now
into "an house not made with hands,
eternal in the heavens"
and completely furnished
with the beauty of the
altogether lovely One!
