Room for lament

Wednesday in Holy Week

 

In the evening, in the morning, and at noonday,

I will complain and lament,

and God will hear my voice

Psalm 55:18

 

this path makes room

for lament

for complaint

for grief and bitterness

 

I pour them out

the ground absorbs them

as it has welcomed the sorrows 

of those who walk before me

and those who will come after

 

God hears

accepts

holds

and then

 

and then

transformation

lies ahead
