"Chop Wood, Carry Water"
"Practice resurrection."
- Wendell Berry 
"Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front"
 
One of my favorite proverbs comes from our Buddhist siblings in the Zen tradition: "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." I wonder if this is what resurrection is like? 
 
A couple of Sundays ago, our Gospel proclaimed an intimate story of resurrected Jesus standing among his disciples again. "Look at my hands and feet; see that it is I myself. Touch me and see." (Luke 24:39). Quite impossibly and perhaps unimaginably, resurrection is beyond neither our sight nor our touch. It is literally at hand, if we only foster the perception to witness it. We do not have to be different, more "perfect, spiritual, [fill-in-the-blank]" people. God beholds us - and loves us, as we currently are (including all the parts we'd like to hide!) just as Jesus beheld and loved his friends "while in their joy... disbelieving and still wondering" (29:41).
