02 March 2025 – Transfiguration Sunday (COCU 17C)

TRANSFIGURED
(Exodus 34:29-35)
Mountains, clouds and light,
summer, burnt land, flooded land,
surf, sand – and sunburn.

Dazzling light and heat,
deep blue hemisphere above,
cosmic dimensions.

In busy cities,
plains of spinifex, mulga,
and farms in between.

Not smoke and mirrors
of would-be modern “saviours”
but “presence of God”.

What then would it be
to see God in our neighbour?
A world transfigured.
