To Begin This Way

So many facets to explore

to mine the way it began

Who knew that God used

imperfect clay to sculpt

Did I envision a zigzag pattern

Start and go, circle, stop,

meander, scan ahead—

or did I imagine a linear path

with clear margins and limits

 How was I to know when I

said I believe as my body 

flexed and responded 

that I set in motion

a pilgrimage to understand

and follow the God who

accepted the declaration

of one who took a halting step
