Carol's Poem

There WAS safe for me

A time when what I believed

                didn’t need to be questioned,

Wasn’t questioned, I was discouraged from questioning

And all felt well and safe

Now I question what I have been taught,

Not from a place of being lost;

Rather from a place of being aware, newly awake,

questioning in wonder

Wonder at the glacier slabs of ice

falling into the ocean and the earth falling into the

sea of stars above us

expanding onto infinity

We are a speck of dust

and I believe we are important

and loved and the hope that God is

not too busy for me and you

is a real hope

And still all feels well and safe

In a new more real way with new beliefs

and comfort in feeling safe

to question
