The mystery is there.
The challenge is there.
It is there where ideas
Are transformed in
Their forming.
It is where we look
When a question gives
Us pause.
It is where truth
Begs to be handled.
It lies between myopia
And dystopia.
It is beyond this moment
But before infinity.
Unsettling middle distance.
“Who do you say that I am?”
Mark 8:29
The Middle Distance where we see as if through a glass darkly and where questions remain unanswered.
Jesus often leaves me looking into the middle distance with hope.
