It's okay not to get it–
    that doesn't mean it's not real or right–
maybe you're not ready.

It's okay not to get it–
    you likely get stuff
that others don't.

It's okay not to get it,
    but important to wrap one's self in humility,
allowing that truth is elusive,
    like morning mist rising from the lake.

It's okay not to get it,
    and to acknowledge that even what we think we get,
or our church or denomination thinks it gets,
    might be way off.
(We are human, after all.)

It's okay not to get it.

God gets it all,
    and that's enough.
