DESERT PLACES

Luke 4:42

I have been given walls—

boundaries for my being.

It is sin to transgress the

limits that I was meant to

live inside. I am not

limitless. Holy it is to

embrace the limitations

that were placed on me

at creation. Displayed for

me on the seventh day.

Shabbat.

I will desert this city of demands

for a short while. Pitch my tent

among the mountains of my mind.

Climbing to these peaks so I can

see far above the chaos. Retreating

into this inner monastery. I must

leave in order to remain human, or

I will be ruined.
