On January 30th, 2011, the 13 RSCJ from the probation group “Vivir y Amar con Alegria Profunda” (Live and Love with Deep Joy) professed final vows.
The poem below is my way of marking this year’s anniversary.
Five Years’ Thanksgiving
I am surrounded
by journey and love;
Love that is
forever freeing
and coming round
to whole,
to home,
to you;
You, my Yes,
my beckon and courage;
You, the adventure
of awe and becoming.
You, my strength,
and what grace I know.
You, the large,
the little, and all.
The sigh, the song,
the dance, the struggle,
The question, the laugh,
the hand that I hold
before rising again,
and saying again,
AMEN.
Kimberly M. King, RSCJ
