God descended from heaven
onto this mortal plane
revealed as an infant
to suffer and die in pain
But more than that one
moment
this time when Christ walked
the earth
God revealed in moments
coincidences we cannot
explain
One such time for me
happening
when I was far from home on
a trip
on the waters of the
Allagash
reminded of his providence
The man who I asked about a
found paddle
lying abandoned in the brush
was the contractor working
on the bank where my uncle
worked
Hundred miles from either of
our homes
from different directions we
had come
but God revealed to me
how close we all are
together
what a comfort in His coincidence

memory from 1976
the bank was in Westfield, MA
and I lived in Claremont, NH.
The Allagash was 500 miles from home
and 400 miles from the bank
