Possibility everywhere

I realize I have been trained to more fully experience Holy Week.  28 years walking through Holy Week as a priest has affected me long-term, whether I am in charge of Holy Week liturgies, or not.  

This is the week

My senses

Kick it up a notch.

If there are any connections

To be made,

I make them.

I know the redbuds are connected

Underground

With all redbuds

Everywhere.

Perhaps it is dangerous for me to begin

Something new now.

It will naturally connect

With everything else.

Soon I will be overwhelmed

With possibility.

This is the week

Of possibility.

Everything is connected

Underground,

Even above ground,

In the air.

I smell the lilacs on the breeze.

I feel the ground beneath my sneakers.

It moves in connection

With all things.

Everything matters.

There is possibility everywhere.

Even before death,

Resurrection

Is immanent.
