Let
us go to the other side
he
said,
just as he was
A
fishing boat would take him
and
them across
just as he was
They
took him along
to
the other side
just as he was
black
clouds thickening
above
their heads
alone, he slept
terrified
as the boat titled
they
woke him
just as he was
he
spoke, the wind, the waves
died
just as he was
completely calm
On
Thursday, Nov. 20 at The High Calling Retreat at Laity Lodge in Texas, Laura
Boggess used Mark 4:35-39 as the basis for a Lectio Divina (sacred
reading). I took two notes: “just as he
was” and “completely calm.” Laura is the author of Playdates with God: Having a Childlike Faith in a Grownup World (2014).
