The Road from Jerusalem to Gaza, Acts 8. 26

From Jerusalem to Gaza, Acts 8. 26

And was it on that road
the Spirit came,
whistling along with surprise
through living waters ?

What now of Jerusalem,
torn in two, one part resistant
the other hard of heart ?
And Gaza,
full of bitter resentment,
thoughts of deferred revenge ?

Can the Spirit still alight
on that road between two places
that so cry out with anguish ?
Anguish – one word for two places ?

Come, Holy One
who breathes, heals, unites,
works the impossible
in desert ways of human hearts !

Come !

  • Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
