An Outstretched HandGrace waits patiently for everyonelike Charon beside the River Styx.But Grace requires no coinagefor sin’s payment has been nixed.The sound of a boulder’s rumble,louder to the soul than deafening thunder,is the receipt for the cost of transgression, paid in full.It leaves even angels still in wonderat the depth of love that bears such…
