What does God require of you

When I got out the hospital there was a man juggling knives off the freeway
That was April last year
Rockslides and floods, mind roaming roads in stuck
Racing sliding thoughts
Add a year
Last day in May
Birthday in June
I took out my age compass and shook
No true north
0-18, 18-36, 36-54
June 30 birthday
Mid year, compass center, where you are
Graduation, point at zero, lead at 18, times 3
What does God require of you
Is that even the right question?
Flowing through pleasure and pain
Immersed in own thought
Graduation
18 times one two and three
Where does it lead
Speeding through life, not looking at beauty?
Graduation. 
What does that mean?  Last free education?
What is the more
Church works some assurance, deepens connections
Slow, work and restore
Sharing, trusting, learning, betrayal
What is your prayer shifting aware
Rock slides and floods.  Minds road in stuck
How do you juggle
Can't read through banners, wander
How to walk humbly in this world
Mission your trip, building community
How will you spend service
Difference as equals
Subtraction extraction
Death of grandparent or pet
What is the lost connection?
Compass centers where you are
Splash or slash
Grace and truth mixing apps
What's the impact?
Longing for love and connection
Stepping out beyond self, shy out of shell
How do you know what to trust in yourself?
We are our music, dance hide in banter
We are our prayer
What is your banner
We covenant with You and with one another
May God help us and be with us
Come to find sanctuary
