Writing God, by Scott Brown

St. Jerome, by Hendrick Bloemaert (Netherlands) 1630

Writing God
 
No miracles like St. Catherine nor angels like Abraham. 
There are times to be glad that God does not visit, or perhaps 
just slips in through the side-door and rests quietly on a stool in the corner.
 
Presence is found in dust silently stirred from turned 
pages, churning through morning light 
from windows high on stone walls.
 
Old hands worn shiny and wrinkled like sacred 
manuscripts - vessels pouring God onto pages, 
storing Him like aging wine.
