That’s such a sweet and gently touching thought. I can remember similar moments in my past with my Creator. You put it very well, Abigail. Thanks for this. :)
I love the sobriety of this as it relates to ourselves as Peter, coupled with the touch humor of cleaning puke. As a parent I relate completely. The composition notes added great context. It’s been years since I’ve read A Severe Mercy but their story has stuck with me. Might have to go pull it from the shelf! Great poem!
Thank you for reading, Brit, and for your thoughtful reply. I think I am ready for a reread of Severe Mercy too! It has been probably two decades, and I remember being deeply moved by it along with A Grief Observed.
“Do it for me” —how can I say no?
