I find when I begin something new, something completely new, that my old rules are rendered useless by this unknown new territory.
My understanding has nothing to work with. I am lost until I’ve wandered around sufficiently and met with my feet, much of the new ground. I have no maps I understand, no others to guide me until I have discovered a few stepping stones for myself. Each step forward by faith in this, my God journey, is like that. It takes me some time to have faith grow into hope and hope’s early understandings and then beyond into love where knowledge takes a deeper turn.
Pieces
I know pieces
in part
seeing dimly
each
one by one
with few links
between
until I’ve waited further
so I explore
knowing locally
awaiting a more global
understanding
walked
into being
