Abba : a Flowabye

And on the Day of Fathers, they gathered around the Poet and asked, “What would you tell us of Abba?”  And the Poet spoke,

Abba is like the sun shouting through the cracks of your bedroom door on a summer morning, for it is Abba’s great pleasure when you wake up and Abba finds delight when you are lost in play.

Abba is the Teacher nurturing, guiding, directing, and challenging for the way of the Teacher is to draw out the best in you – often at the peril of your own fear and reluctance.

Abba is the Power that removes and allows obstacles on your path knowing that it is in the seed’s push through the press of the soil where the strength to tree is found. 

When you stumble or fall and scrape the knees of your innocence and bruise your wonder against the asphalt of Life’s path, run to Abba whose unhesitant compassion and understanding are kisses that balm the deepest wounds.

And when you become lost in the labyrinth of lies caused by confusion and doubt, fall still, for Abba whose voice is like the moon sliding across the night whispers loudest when you are quietest; 

Yet should your false beliefs become solid as Jericho, in the anguish of separation – cry out! and know that Abba’s voice like the thunder of a thousand trumpets can turn a wall of stone into a shore of sand at your feet. 

Make Abba’s lap your sanctuary and your temple, your playground where Truth is delivered and realiTea parties with imaginary friends and angels are welcome.

Abba is the love that knows no condition and draws its strength from Its willingness to be vulnerable. Abba is everywhere and doesn’t grant sanction to the word absentee, for how can something that surrounds forever within be gone?

And at the eve of the day, as your breast rises and falls, heed the call of Abba’s lullaby with gratitude and rest.  For it is Abba’s good grace to give you the kingdom.

Abba breathes you

Abba sings you

Abba dreams you

Abba is you

Abba is
