Transforming our times

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, November 4, 2007

We can transform and glorify
these times in which we live
only by listening for the inner voice
and following its ways.

We can be testaments to the energy
and spirit of these days
only by living them fully
in the light of our brightest power.

That means following the seasons of these times
and living even through the wintertide of it all,
but ever casting that deeper eye
which always spies the abundance and growth
of the summertime within.

It means honoring our age
and knowing the road we’ve walked,
but it also means knowing
that new roads always await us,
and new seasons ever beckon.

When we cast these lives of ours
both in the light of history’s long page
and God’s great grace, we’ll finally know
how eternally young we truly are--
and how ancient, and how wise.

Then it is we will be able to share
with all our brothers and sisters everywhere
the great drama of this golden hour
in which we have been called to walk the earth.
