I confessed my ennui
To God.
So many reads through Genesis.
I told myself I hadn’t plumbed the depths.
I started to read about Hagar,
That household servant,
Pregnant by her master,
Fleeing mistreatment by her mistress.
The angel of the LORD found her.
The angel of the LORD found her.
The angel of the LORD hasn’t been mentioned before.
Hagar calls him Jehovah El Roi,
The God who sees.
First he found the knocked up Egyptian woman.
Later he found me.
Chastened, I note:
I was bored with Genesis.
