liturgy of simple significance
i’m here, looking for your signature on the simple.
a sacred and holy midst the simple and common.
simply seeking your seen-ness in the present.
simple can be significant.
slow can be potent with significance,
dripping like honey, anointing like oil.
solidifying, saturating, steadying are all significant.
steps as significant as summits.
you redefine my definition of significance, outer and inner.
deshaming my badge of broken insignificance.
significance in the being apart from the doing.
you are significant, can’t you see?
the sacred is seeping in until it soaks, until it satisfies.
silence significant for the sending,
solitude for seeing the sacred.
then flowing from that space is the spacious.
sanctified. sent.
this is significant, can’t you see?
don’t discount the small.
make space for the surprise.
simmer and steep, there are flavors being developed here.
yet sit, stop, and stay may be overly static - there is a flow here.
a seeping that is sweeping.
still sent, just a different speed.
there’s still fruit, just currently in seed.
seek the sacred, find the potency there.
it’s where the simple becomes special.
a stick becomes a sea separator,
a sardine becomes a surplus snack,
a slingshot becomes a slayer.
sustenance from the small,
surplus from the sacrifice.
you’re redefining significance.
can i perceive it?
saturated with significance, here and now.
i see your signature.
