ORIGAMI  MUSEUM

It was on a side street ….

It wasn’t in my plans ….

But it started to rain,

so I dropped into

an origami museum ….

It was a gigantic bird cage ….

I was caught - enfolded -

with 1000 birds of every size

and color, in sight, in flight,

cranes, sparrows, birds everywhere ….

I walked around…. I was

hearing Jesus’  words folded

in all the corners of my life:

“Look at the birds of the air -

here, there and everywhere….

Just behold them…. Paper works ....

Don’t unfold them …. Paper works ....

Just see them. Just let them

delight you and then fly

back out into the rain ….
