Time Out for a Penalty Flag
The old order changeth, yielding place to new,
And God fulfills himself in many ways
-Tennyson, “The Passing of Arthur”
Change does not lie in
calendars or dates
But in the seasonal
turnings of the year
And in the ordered ways of
God with us
Compassing us truly in
spite of ourselves
Years are but our usages
and measurings
Tools lent us for a time for
learning Creation
For balancing the better
against the good
And the transcendent against
the transient
Life is not lived in
calendars or dates
But beyond all time, and
only in Truth
