10.42am- faith and the cosmic tumblers

Yesterday,
i sat with my friend Michelle
in a cafe run by a short man
who loves Michelle
and next to us
at the other table
sat two young guys
about 20-25 years old
heartily chowing into a delicious big brekkie each

something about them caught my eye
as they finished eating
and then
both pulled out bibles
old bibles
and started reading to each other
quietly
in amongst the hustle and bustle of an inner city cafe
they read
laughed
and discussed
what they had read together
and then
they
prayed together
prayed
in the cafe
at the table
next to us.

I watched,
transfixed by the faith
the devotion
the pure, simple joy
these two young men took
in their faith.

I watched
the beauty of it
of faith
unquestioned
as the cosmic tumblers in Lisa's universe
went click, click, click
telling me
that my faith
didnt need a setting
didnt need a label
didnt cost more than a morning spent with a friend
and the charge of a big brekkie

click
click
click
how beautiful
is the faith
that can be practised
anywhere
at anytime
by anyone
by me

I watched these boys
faith in motion
beautiful
and I knew
that I
would always be okay
always be guided
always would be supported

the answers fell into my lap
gratitude
yes
label-less
unpaid for
un prepared
faith
