&

When I remember and

I live

and move

and have my being

with much less anxiety.

When I allow others

to insist to me

that it is not and,

but rather

either, or,

one,

but not the other,

my mind

and heart

runs wild.

first and last

three and one

spirit and flesh

divine and human

loving and wrathful

sovereign and permissive

mystery and incarnational

You clear the crowd that's gathered

'round the crisis of my soul

and whisper to my suffocating heart

And is the juice of the joints of the motion of life

And is the love that is between God and his beautiful wife

And has two hands and two feet and a long, lovely side

And rose three days after he was crucified
