A poem of hope by Christine Rodgers

“Song for My Bulbs” by Christine Rodgers

It seems so

preposterous

so absurd

 

to imagine

anything

coming

from this

 

layers of

sand

and

dirt

and rock.

 

How

could

anything

alive

possibly

push

past

all that.

 

And yet,

there are

small

fierce

green

shoots

 

unmistakable

signs of life

pushing

through

 

and it

gives

me

great courage.

Poem offered by Christine Rodgers from “Into the Great, Green Heart of God.” Used with permission.

Each Monday and Wednesday, SALVEtoday will provide a prayer of reflection for the University community to reflect upon during this time of remote living and learning. #salvesgotthis #wellnesswednesdays
