Here’s
a thoughtful, timely reflection from Christine Sine’s Godspace website. It is a response to Leonard Cohen’s
song, “Anthem” which reminds us (as Christine Sine writes), “that there is indeed a crack in everything but this is not a
reason for despair but rather for hope because this is indeed how the light
gets in.”
Listen to Cohen’s
song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDTph7mer3I
Stay
Close to the Cracks
Stay close to the
cracks,
To the broken
places,
where people weep
and cry out in pain.
Stay close to the
cracks,
where God’s tears
fall,
and God’s wounds
bleed
for love of us.
Stay close to the
cracks
where the light
shines in,
and grass pushes up
through concrete.
Stay close to the
cracks
where wounds
open doorways
to healing and
wholeness and life.
