But the existence you invite me into is ambiguous;
There is the Miracle of Isaac,
but there is also the fact of Ishmael.
Like Sarah, I would like to banish
what doesn't fit into my scheme;
Yosemite Valley
But your scheme is larger than mine.
Show me how to live in your larger providence.
Amen
Eugene Peterson
