I am grateful for those moments
when words fail
when I am humbled
by the realization
that I don’t have all the answers.
I am grateful for every chance to say,
With honesty,
“I don’t know,”
Because it welcomes
An opportunity to learn.
I am grateful for the hands and mouths and minds
That transform the tasks of word-work
into the wonders of word-play,
for days that end not in periods
or exclamation marks,
but with question marks,
or hopefully, with ellipses.
Most of all,
I am grateful for a God
who guides me toward
A greater understanding
of the extraordinary story
at the heart
of every one of us.
