Bernadette is HERE.
"I choose to Be Here in the Church because...Jesus has shown me how to live this life to the fullest. I wasn't made to hide. I wasn't made to put on a show. I was made to be me - fully alive!
Being Here in the present moment is better with...writing poetry in coffee shops, board games, & discovering new music"

A Poem
Bernadette
To The Heights
Sitting on a dock
on this wide, frozen river
with my feet
feeling the give
of thin ice,
wanting to walk on water
which up to this moment
I could do safely,
I scan the clear and opaque
to find you,
My Brother,
sitting on the dock downstream
swishing your foot,
feeling the river's current.
Soon it will be that Bright Spring Day
when all of creation,
within and without,
is thawed.
Awake.
Alive.
When we will lock our eyes
on each other
on Him
on them who run on the river.
Yes Brother, we will meet.
We will run on the rushing waters,
trip on river rocks,
tumble through the rapids.
Our Simons and Veronicas
will run and tumble with us there.
We will carry each other,
wipe the blood and tears,
and splash in the crystal waters.
Yes Brother!
We all will run on the rushing waters
with Him our Beloved
to join that Most Joyful March
to Calvary.
