purple dusk flecks the
air,
and the sound of God’s
walking trembles through
silvered leaves.
Walking faithfully
is moving through space
and time,
endeavoring to match God’s
stride;
joined as firmly as a
shadow
to his pace
and
tottering along.
Faithful walkers develop calluses,
dust-grimed pedicures
and habits of reflective
thought.
Stepping along paths
trod by elders and
ancients,
toddlers and teens,
holds meaning beyond
merely transporting
oneself
from A to B.
Christ too was a
pedestrian
on earth.
No power-walk
or measured stride
but slow enough
to know
and be known.
God promises to co-walk with
us,
physical steps on earthly
soil
or sidewalk,
and as we move
He moves in us,
beside us
and through us.
He knows us
and invites our knowing
at the pace
of a gentle
stroll.
