ministry of presence

A quadrille (44 words) linked to dVerse poets where Kim invites us to walk quietly.


to come alongside

lone hurting person in

whatever hard situation

they find themselves.

one who quietly listens

attentive, undistracted

who accepts, validates

with humble posture.

to sit, stand, wait, walk

with fellow pilgrim on

a difficult path in life

hold up, hold on, hope!
