Intention

If you are not prepared to walk naked
into a white slap of snow and ice,
then do not begin your search for God.

This is not to say that the journey's all tears
icing your raw cheeks. Sometimes, she finds
you unerringly like a mother, pressing you

close, wrapping your thirsty heart to her warm milk.
But be prepared for blizzards because they come
and God is there, waving us on into courage.
