“… the truth will make you free.” John 8:21-32
The candle in the cave.
Light warming the darkness.
That place where, the empty page invites.
That place where the empty staff; music calls.
The invitation to dance with lyric, narrative, melody and poetry.
The invitation to dance in all creation.
Easy to put ‘truth’ in the context of demand.
Easy to put ‘truth’ in frame of law…
When the lenten candle lights the cave …
In preparation, in solitude, in quiet reflection…
In the cacophony of voices… all call truth…
Light warming darkness.
The meal inviting communion.
The soft touch of …
The light caress of …
The Candle in the cave.
No mocking.
Invitation.
No mocking.
And so the lyric, the narrative…
That lenten muse…
For in moment, in communion.
The page embraces.
The staff enfolds.
And the song pours forth.
In call creation.
Amen, and amen.
Amen, and amen.
