Bartimaeus... began to shout out and say,
"Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"...
Then Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?"...
"My teacher, let me see again."...
"Go; your faith has made you well"
(Mk 10:46-52)

Reflections

Fear masks my sight.
Call on the depths of desire
And my cloak fall away.
To be your friend requires a risk.
You look to Jerusalem.
How not to stumble?
I heard you say, "I trust you".
