Two ways or more to risk or rupture faith,
this pearl, this gift, entrusted to our care,
Which way to take, the smooth way or the rough
a challenge and a question hover there.
We wonder and we wander through our thoughts
as all seems foreign, different from our hope.
The ground is shaken, all seems insecure,
where can we sow a seed that fosters hope?
Help us, good God, to see the way ahead,
to take the risk that leads us from the night.
To plant while not yet knowing what might grow,
surprising, thrusting, blindly into light.
