The bright field

Christian Century, Jan 17, 2001

   I have seen the sun break through
   to illuminate a small field
   for a while, and gone my way
   and forgotten it. But that was the pearl
   of great price, the one field that had
   the treasure in it. I realize now
   that I must give all that I have
   to possess it. Life is not hurrying

   on to a receding future, nor hankering after
   an imagined past. It is the turning
   aside like Moses to the miracle
   of the lit bush, to a brightness
   that seemed as transitory as your youth
   once, but is the eternity that awaits you.
