Transfiguration Happens: A meditation poem for the second Sunday of Lent

A meditation poem for 

the second Sunday of Lent




Transfiguration Happens


Transfiguration happens
in each moment.
When a sunbeam cuts 
through the forest canopy 
and illumines a glade with 
sudden glory,
transfiguration
happens.
When a flower unfurls 
and startles 
with stunning 
colour,
transfiguration
happens.
When stillness settles 
in the soul, 
long enough for us
to notice light leaking 
lovingly
into the world through 
leaves, and 
life quietly working 
miracles of 
resurrection from 
the mulch 
of seeming 
death,
transfiguration
happens.
And even
when we, worried,
busied and bothered,
do not 
notice our daily
divine draw
up the 
mountain,
from glory 
to 
glory;
transfiguration
happens
still.
