Tuesday of the 2nd week in Advent

 

 

 

 

If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them has gone astray.
Does he not leave the ninety nine on the mountain.
And go in search of the one who has gone astray.
Of this we are in the parable certain.

I dreamt I climbed down a mountain,
In real life I am scared of every height.
Here in my dream I was fearless, certain.
Up and ready for the fight.

In real life we would stay with our livelihood.
The ninety nine sheep.
In the parable we do what is right and good.
And we do so in our dreams and sleep.

Against all reason God cares for the one.
And we all of us are the one.

…..

The ninety nine left
And he goes after the one
And we are that one
