Seeing others standing in the enormous room we actually live in:
The enormous room is where we are meant to live, and already do
(when i see you, we are standing in that room already!)
all other rooms (jobs, roles, positions, our performances…) aren’t proportioned truly, aren’t big enough to define us-their gravity is too small, not a large enough law, or too small for thanks songs, or long enough to hang your hat in…
when i see you, God smiles in care, and i know.
i see all you stand within and for-all your people ever, cousins and lovers
fathers and mothers…i look at you, and see your entire family forever!
i see a long lineage of us all pointing towards
the same director and direction. Your mother was mine, as was your Dad.
i also see us together forever dancing
in this enormous room, just behind the curtain-where light and lightening touch
as stage lights of becoming.
The communion of saints, the cloud of witnesses are all singing
in the same enormous room. It’s already home, at least
for us. Those immediately dignified, just by where
they are standing, and what they reference, and are leaning
into….us all notes, singers, dancers on the ball room floor
of The Enormous Room which never ends
and is already available to dance on….
when even i see your face
i see every generation’s
faces in a mirror on the wall of the enormous room.
And when i see you, i see proof of God
as we stand together in Love’s disco light
in the enormous room.
