This poem was written following a retreat with the Berlin Ministry
Team in 2009. It is a specific response to a specific time with
good friends, but, I think, says much about the importance of
transparent and open story telling.
KNOWING
How knowing changes us!
How knowing, connecting,
reveals—how barriers
drop and defenses are
breached. Towers crumble
from shared tears
down another’s—and then my—
face. What once seemed
impregnable is zapped by
a story that digs deep beneath
the wall and blows it open
—access no longer
denied, we enter the
closed off world, the secret
garden, and find pleasure
in each other’s company.
