I give thanks for arriving
Safely in a new dawn,
For the gift of eyes
To see the world,
The gift of mind
To feel at home
In my life.
The waves of possibility
Breaking on the shore of dawn,
The harvest of the past
That awaits my hunger,
And all the furtherings
This new day will bring.

There are war photographs like that, and African American spirituals, and drawings by Jewish children who died in Treblinka before they turned twelve. There are stories Jesus told that never stop chewing at you because there is something not quite right about them, something higher than justice at work in them that leaves you wondering what righteousness has to do with love at all. These upsetting works of art are beautiful too, but not in the sense of pretty. They are beautiful in the sense of labor-and-delivery, in the sense of a white flag over a battlefield, in the sense of the first bird to land on the lifeboat with something green in its beak. You were lost. Then you were found, with beauty all around.

Stand when we can.
