Understanding the father,
perhaps in a different way
the creator, our savior
gathering us in
his arms open wide
taking in our brokenness
placing us
back on the potter’s wheel
changing us
molding us
new clay may we be
able to move, to flow anew
shaped by the potter once again

giving us two creation stories
