Meditations on God

Heavenly Father
when we experience
the muck and mire
of depression and confusion
teach us to put on
our spiritual rain boots
so that we can dance
and stomp
and splash
within in it
until we are no longer afraid
of the darkness
for even in the darkness
you are there
teaching us to play
and dance
the dance of love
