The Moon Colliding

Rachel Steffen

Theology is not a mountain
we climb or a hill we

conquer. Theology is not a rigid
bank shutting in rushing and

willful waters. It is not answers or
definitions. Theology is the

softness of your breath meeting the
wind. It is the poem born of an

unwritten soul. The petals of
spring flowers dancing only

to decompose. The art of a cloud
quenching the thirst of dry

ground. It is the ever changing
tides of an unchanging

ocean. It is a moment, a meeting of
dimensions. Theology is the

moon colliding with the
sea and the waves

washing over your feet in the
sand. Theology is.
