Walk the rails under a high blue sky. Find the sag in the leaning fence, and step--carefully--over rusted wire. Follow a peninsula of blond grasses through a lake of loam, and come, at last, to the timber's edge where gray branches trace the sky and rose hips curl near purple canes.

I don't have words yet, for this new confidence: this smiling despite flaws, this shy reversal of a soul's infolding, these straightened shoulders, this bolder voice. Who can explain a heart's choice to trust God's plot line? Here I am, in permanent ink. Would I allege a tremor in God's hand? Who am I to say, "I am a mistake"?
