As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. Mk 6:54
i don’t want to know you
like sick people recognizing a healer
i don’t want to know you
like the demon recognizing the Holy One of God
i don’t want to know you
like a believer knows his creed
i want to know you
like the childhood scar on my face
i want to know you
like the fears that keep me paralyzed
i want to know you
like the friend i’ve had all my life
i will never fathom the works of the Creator
nor understand his gift of free will
all i want is to know the Incarnate God
who knocked on the door of my house
and made a home in the empty room
grant that i know Him who carries my cross
and loves me on my journey home
