After Psalm 1
Not the law as we consider it
not the compilation of statutes
and strictures
not the assembly of precedents
not the determinations of the man
who judges
not the law as they understand and chafe
against the word
but instead
the law as the big story
the law as overflowing mercy
the law as grace
the entire story
not only the part we find comfort in
the full story, all of it
the law as invitation
the invitation to eternity
