I have fought the good fight;
I have finished the race;
I have kept the faith.
—2 Timothy 4.7
The writer has finished
two thousand years ago
and the race goes on.
Time folds upon itself,
adding ring upon ring,
and the fight continues.
We keep the faith
and keep finishing
and the race goes on.
Your keeping does not end,
your finishing continues,
you belong in a great stream.
We hold each other,
strive for each other
keep one another’s faith,
one body, one long race,
always finishing, always going on.
You are not alone. Carry on.
