An amazing piece. Somehow I can never imagine these sorts of things and make the links in my own writing, which tends to run rather pedantic. Thank you for sharing!

During mating season I heard that crocodiles shiver in the water, creating ripples with their scarred backs. The troubled waters. I am absorbing your meditation and am caught by the image of the Milky Way representing a scar in the heavens, an image of the scars He bore for us. Thank you for this writing.

That image of shivering crocodiles is haunting. From your language, I’m guessing you’re a poet. If a further creation of your own arises in response to this essay, I’d be honored to see it. Thank you for reading.

Wow, a powerful piece -I loved the way you wove together your personal story, the crocodile scarring and the scars on the hands of Jesus-just an outstanding essay with real truth and meaning accessible to all. I write, but you have shown me another level that I can aspire to. Thank you!
