As the summer heat lost now comes in September,
I feel hot to stand firm in my resistance
For Church money to be stored away rather than used for works of mercy
And in my resistance to Teach War and Violence at Marquette University.
Work in the gardens these days mostly means harvesting and watering,
Things are not immediate as other garden duties in the summer.
Working to resist Marquette University and my Catholic parish
For not being Faithful to the Gospel is harder
As is working to stop the violence that plagues our city and world.
But who said it would be easier to be a follower of Jesus and the Way of the Cross?
I found that a good way to ease the “sense of death” that shadows me
Is to be silent, listen to my conscience and do what I believe is the truth, in my opinion.
Doing this gives me a sense of peace and life that overcomes death every time,
So summer in fall I can say with Julian of Norwich, All is Well, All is Well.
