Imperatives

  

Look at the birds

Consider the lilies

Drink ye all of it

Ask

Seek

Knock

Enter by the narrow gate

Do not be anxious

Judge not; do not give dogs what is holy

Go: be it done for you

Do not be afraid

Maiden, arise

Young man, I say, arise

Stretch out your hand

Stand up, be still

Rise, let us be going ...

Love

Forgive

Remember me

~Kathleen Norris (finds poetry in Jesus’s commands to His followers)
