Light that breaks you
Entry for the “Light breaks water” challenge
This is the gospel of stillness:
that something gentle
can also be certain.
That light, unfiltered,
still finds you.
Light does not rush,
it arrives.
Mercy is the quiet movement in the sun.
I dip a finger in,
as ripples orbit around my touch.
Drawing a line, pulling down
exposing the chest of the sea,
then tracing its lips with my fingertips.
The way it touches back, is an offering.
*
That is Forgiveness.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
