Genesis

 

My questions are few and simple
Did Rachel wonder at the injury to Jacob’s thigh?
Did Leah inquire why brother was sundered from brother?
Did young Reuben ask “why these stones at Bethel?”
I want to hear their doubts as well as their certainties
I want to see the dust that gathered,
drew breath and
became man.

 

 

 

 

 

I have probably internalized Kalamu’s workshop.  They would jump up and say what?  You switched from one story to another.  Yeah, I did.  I do like the last image though.  Consider this a down payment on RWP #109.   It’s late and I’ll think some more one it.

Genesis

 

My questions are few and simple
Did Rachel wonder at the injury to Jacob’s thigh?
Did Leah inquire why brother was sundered from brother?
Did young Reuben ask “why these stones at Bethel?”
I want to hear their doubts as well as their certainties
I want to see the daily choices that created the plan
I want to see the dust that gathered,
drew breath and
became man.
