Grumble

 They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves...”
John 6:42-43

When something
Doesn’t make
Sense — grumble,
Complain,  take

Offense. Right?
Life revolves
Around you
And involves

You even
If it does
Not. We’re so
Blind because

We can’t see
We can’t know
We think we
Do — but no

Take a breath
Take a sec
Think a bit
Doublecheck

Open eyes
Open heart
Grumble not
That’s a start

This year for the A-to-Z challenge, I’m challenging myself to write a Cethramtu Rannaigechta Moire every day. I can’t pronounce it, but I can tell you that it’s an Irish poetic form that requires 3 syllable lines in quatrains. The second and fourth lines rhyme.

Additionally, I’ve been collecting questions for a few years — specifically questions from the Bible. I have a big problem with people who think they know everything, especially religious people.

The more someone thinks they know God, the converse is true. I know less about God today than I did last year or five years or twenty-five years ago. I have so many questions.

Turns out the Bible is full of questions.

So, I’m using questions from the Gospel of John for this challenge.
