Periphery

Look past the

Tempting tinsel

Avoid the

Brightly coloured

Ripples of ribbon

Don Ray-Bans

To block out

Exquisitely pleated

Satin bows

See past

Convention

And others'

Expectation

Knowing

That God

Is not only

Called

"Suddenly!!!"

But also

"Good"

Expect

The unexpected

In the bland

And forgotten

And uninteresting

Recognise that

Unthought of

Possibilities

Lie in the

Simplest of

Things and places

Find treasure

Hidden

In the normality

Of plain

Brown paper

And the roughest

Of string.

“I don’t think the way you think. The way you work isn’t the way I work.” God ’s Decree.

“For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think."

Isaiah 55:8‭-‬9 MSG
