[ preface, the whole thing ]

1.
Based
standing
on the Word
[ Based, Foundations, on the walking out, today, rumors, faith, the poem reads smooth ]

2.
I begin
learning to ask-walk
a road
unexpected
in its opening out
past my own imaginings
on out to real roads
going places
beyond my world view
kept small
in a hunt for safety
[ I begin, beginnings, power, out rowing with Jesus, morning, to do exploits, another beginning, enter the desperado, joyshift ]

3.
promises spoken
leading to promises fulfilled
then opening onto yet other
further promises

discovered new footing
come to transitions
phase shifts
where world view shifts
repeatedly turn and twist
my understanding
around, up, down
and back
to reconfigure
a bit straighter
each time

[my F-14, faith connections, flat, lostbut  I love you, so Peter, faith steps, learning to fly ]

4.
my calling(s)
clarify
and I learn
to fly
solo

[ odd, faith conversations, blast mode, pieces, I wonder, promises, a witness]

5.
to return home
a different place
a different person

[ walking home ]
