So now, how do I accommodate the old into the new?
Old wine skins cannot hold new wine - fresh, green, alive.
The force of change will burst them.
No, new wine must have new wines skins.
Or perhaps the breaking open is acceptable,
The pouring out so all can see.
There is One who absolutely broke the old,
Burst wide open and discarded
Leaving only new wine.
If I am discarded will I be fragrant with new wine?
Fragrant with the sun and rain and earth of life,
And all that goes into this messy miracle of turning water into wine?
