You are not here
to do penance.
You are not here
to justify your being.
You are not here to earn
your own way.
You are here to lose your way.
You are here to
soak up our tears,
wander and trip
over unsought treasures.
You are here to
be thrown and caught,
captivated by the Lord
of Entanglement.
You are here to make
a mosaic of mistakes
that, when you finally
step back and see,
looks just like the face
of Mary.
