The Pentecost flames, in the water of baptism, the Spirit stirring the waters, charged, elemental transforming waters of the Spirit, descending, landing filling us, our own lives, our spirits, growing, strengthened emboldened, empowered, to speak with power to share the message, in words we do not know, to walk humbly, differently, filled with that redeeming Spirit to be Christ in this troubled land, this world of hurt feeling the fire in that water, flowing through us changing us forever, out of the boat, out onto the waters with Christ with boldness of the Spirit spreading God’s love everywhere
