holy union

this week my eyes have opened wider to this truth: he is holy. so set-apart and infinite and other. and humility is that moment when i look at myself and see the broken creation dust for what it is. ashes. i raise my eyes and am captured by his gaze. and we will be one on that day, the day when i am actually and ultimately humbled. i long to see him as he is and see myself for who i truly am and it will destroy me, undo me, ruin me. and all that will be left will be the enduring and ever-cascading, abundant love of Abba. daddy, come on.
