In the midst of my fear
You appear
breathing peace.
In my confusion
You appear
breathing peace.
Even as I hide my face
You appear
breathing peace.
In all the dark corners of my doubt
You appear
breathing peace.
And finally, in my awakening
You appear
breathing peace…
…asking of me only
one thing:
that I go and tell others.

*John 20:19 (NRSV)
