Here’s a
thoughtful reflection for Palm Sunday from Steve Garnaas-Holmes’s Unfolding
Light website.
Reflection for Palm Sunday
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the chief cornerstone.
Psalm 118:22
The king
enters the city
on his
war horse
while
across town
love
rides a donkey.
Guns and
towers, vast machines,
engines.
Generals boast
of
victory over the child,
the hard
edge over soft flesh.
The
powerful strut and shamble,
loudspeakers
announce their lies.
If there
were money in darkness
they'd
dismiss the sun.
God slips
in through
the
locked gate, the high wall.
In their
high offices the light
is
invisible to them.
The
judge, the warden, the guards
believe
you're nothing.
You'll
never convince them otherwise.
But the
stars know. The air knows.
Your
peasant heart
rides a
donkey, small and tender.
Honor the
Royal Majesty
of the
heart that belongs to love.
