When the Israelites saw it,
they said to one another,
“What is it?”
—Exodus 16.15
The word “Manna” in Hebrew
sounds like “What is it?”
It’s not a name,
it’s a question.
There is no handle for grace.
No tag, just a tug.
No logic,
just wonder.
You can’t name it,
understand, measure it.
You can only take it in.
Like a kiss.
Grace comes to you.
It leaves a taste in your mouth.
All you can do is receive it,
and wonder.
And live
the question.
