I find myself growing older on the outside, which is no great surprise. The great surprise is growing newer on the inside. Some days it feels like swallowing a star.
swallowing a star
makes it hard
to trudge through life
as if you hadn’t
and squeeze into rooms
all burning and bursting
with light
as if
you weren’t
“[O]n the inside, where God is making new life. . . .” 2 Corinthians 4:16
