Day 14 - "transformation" by enfleshed https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a enfleshed - poetry through lent en-us 2021-02-18 21:46:15 UTC 2023-01-26 16:13:39 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1268585253 I love the tale of one caterpillar, saying to the other, as they watched the butterfly flutter by "you won't catch me going in one of those".
How can we know what transformation God has in mind for each of us?
His love for us will bring surprises; let's not be scared.]]> 2021-03-04 12:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1268585253 Transformed https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1268640885 fear transformed

It meant I had to accept love.

Impossible not to be transformed by that. ]]> 2021-03-04 13:09:36 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1268739130 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1268789333 I believe there is no such thing as irredeemable.

I have learned the hard way the burden is not mine to redeem those who harm me.

Christ took that on himself. I can let it go.]]> 2021-03-04 13:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1268789333 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1268858112 2021-03-04 13:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1268858112 transformation https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1268958154 Something shifts;
in spacious conversation;
we discover what we already know.

(trans formations are sacred, too)
daring to believe:
in possibilities luring
beauty beckoning
healing enfolding
love enlivening
life opening

Caterpillar, grows

The angry cries, the violence, the attacks? Will it transform?
Start small -- our own hearts, failings, flaws.]]> 2021-03-04 16:54:57 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1270065974 Transformation https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1270475675
Move beyond the distraction of the ego
Allow yourself to see the clearing ahead
Step into the beauty of who you really are

set and framed it, called it art,
would it then be transformed?]]> 2021-03-04 18:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1270775462 Transformation https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1270861083 There is no transformation without loss.
There is no transformation without grief.
There is no transformation without choice.]]> 2021-03-04 19:13:58 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1270861083 https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1271340350 I distrust my own
Yearning for transformation
Because it speaks to a discontent
With who I am

I distrust
My hunger for transformation
As a magic fix
A shortcut against the heavy work
Of doing justly

I am confronted
With the word transformation
Am I asking God
To take away
The very excuses I cling to?

Every day I strive to do better and be more true to myself

Am I an egg? Or a nymph?
A caterpillar? Or a chrysalis?
Always changing, always shifting, always striving, but not yet a butterfly. ]]> 2021-03-05 02:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1272182610 Transformation https://padlet.com/enflesehd/qryu69yqezq1613a/wish/1272236542
Transformation is
Easy if the Clean Spirit
Forms our broken hearts

Notes: The Welsh word for Holy Spirit is Ysbrid Glân, literally Clean Spirit; and

Transformation is hard to haiku because it eats up 4 syllables

To make it easier, to make it solvable

I think this works in life, too

after the unraveling

(after grief, after rage, after care).

Deep breaths unto fullness,

I recovered my old self -

bold child, wild and holy self.

Spun out from the same crucible,

we were knit back together

a feat, hard-won,

of persistent compassion

and grace.
