The Darkest Moment
by Chaplain Tilia Giron, RScP
I am grateful for all my gifts
Especially, the knowing that within the darkest situation
A pearl awaits me.
In my own unconsciousness, I have brought the darkest moment upon me,
Only now, the precious pearl is mine.
The quirk, or unexpected, however, is that in the midst of that
Completely overwhelmingly-dark-beyond-anything
One-could-ever-imagine is that
Once the gift is found in the midst of all that stinking fowl guck,
The gift overshadows the guck.
Oh no, it is not gone, wish that it were.
It remains and will never be wiped away. How can it?
What’s done is done,
But, the pearl illumines the spirit and the path and explains
And shines forth such that the path is full of Light and the Greatest Love
And so am I.
Thanks be to the God I know of Love and Brilliance.
And so it is!
