Bonhoeffer
(for whom I have the greatest respect)
Notwithstanding
Grace is never cheap
Nor ever expensive
But always free

What if we be but worms
Mortals doomed to die
Yet we are silk worms
Cocooned in eternity

We die
It is true
And then…
God uses our cocoons
To fashion yet more grace
Free and freely
Colorful and silky
In which to wrap Her creations
