In secret
The kindom of God is like a woman, who takes some yeast and mixes it with forty litres of flour and the whole batch rises

We are all doing it in secret:
Stuff we don’t tell anyone,
Making tracks we cover up.
We are all doing it in secret:
Unsure what to say
Or how to care for ourselves.
We are all doing it in secret:
Emotional work holding things together,
Yet feeling inadequate to the task.

So too, the yeast, works in secret,
Makes no sound or declaration.
We see the eventual effect
But we do not know how the kindom comes.
May it also come in us.
Whether secretly or openly:
May we know the rising.

In our life and our believing
The love of God
