Commentary of the Gospell
Soliloquy of a Seed
The theme of kenosis continues in Jesus’ discourse today. A contemplative nun, whom I had requested to adopt me for prayer, gifted me a little greeting card for my perpetual profession. It carried a poem with the above title. With no name of the author mentioned, I am unsure if it was her own poem or someone else’s. I still treasure the card, with its little poem, in my Bible. It suits the theme of today.
Something tells me
To surrender
All I am
And hope to be
And to descend
The dark of earth
To be transformed
Into a tree;
But to go up
Dare I go down
And think a tree
Can fit in me?
