WHERE IN THE HELL IS GOD?

So, New Year’s Eve. Atrocities around the world, Mother Nature continuing to erupt With little concern for life. (What kind of mother is she?) No miracles to bolster faith, Only broken relationships, Undeserved illnesses, Unthinkable personal traumas, Deaths, Losses of every sort and kind. Exactly! Can’t be a God. But how could there not be? Perhaps an inside discussion with yourself, Or with your friends, As you watch the year unwind itself, The numbers tumbling from The face of the clock into oblivion, Into a history that no longer exists.

I ask the question because I will never forget Running to the tomb, how it changed my life. I remember being afraid as I ran. What would I say to the soldiers? I remember wanting to make fun of them. “Do you not feel ridiculous Guarding a dead man? Do you not feel ridiculous Obeying a leader so filled with fear, Fear of losing power...to a dead man?” I remember thinking how I would carefully peel away the linen cloth, Wash him, annoint him the proper way, Touch him for the last time, Lay him to rest while wanting desperately To take some part of him with me, Perhaps a lock of hair. I remember meeting Mary on the way. I remember talking with John as we ran together. I remember seeing the gardener Whom I didn’t really see or recogn...
