I said to God the other day

Matt's House, Boulevard, Hull, May 2018

I said to God the other day:

“You’re not enough.”

And He said

“Good!”

And I could feel His heavenly relief,

Sense His smile spreading,

its gentle joy tickling me forward,

tickling me out of a stuck space –

the “me and God against the world” space,

the hidden habitat of a fear-based holiness.

I said to God the other day:

“You’re not enough.”

And She said

“Good!”

And then She took my hand

and started dancing.

And soon it was Mother, Son, Spirit and me -

me and this rowdy Trinity,

unrestrained, impolite, fearless, free.

I said to God the other day:

“You’re not enough.”

And They said

“Good!”

And then slapped my back, raised a glass,

threw bread like confetti,

flung open the door of that still small space

and we tumbled out

into the land of the living

Like wild things among wild things.
