Waypoints - ReflectionExpectations of security,
orientation and certainties,
all overturned by leviathan storms.
Bewildered by disorientation,
we grapple for reorientation.
God’s grace alone sustains us,
we modern Ninevehs.
Each storm we face a choice:—
The way of Jonah: to flee,-
Our smouldering anger
confounding desire—
or the way of Paul:
to voyage on in Crìost
all in all, here and there
come what may.
