Afresh

Psalm 119.29-30

 

Each moment has a perch, a hand-hold, a being spot.

Spirit provides direction to find balance, place.

Word Become Flesh redeems all, his universal shot.

Creator designs life centered upon full grace.

 

‘Now’ comprises letting go, then taking up.

Awakened souls step into the moment assured.

Triune Oneness welcomes all to sit down, to sup.

Creation’s community includes all, unskinned or furred.

 

Solitude brings a rich gift to the table of wisdom.

Being-ness provides co-creativity as life’s new role.

Interacting with the One whose kingdom has come,

Brings purpose, new meaning to this day, on this knoll;

 

Such a rich diet, consuming moment after blessed moment!

What more can a soul imagine as the height of bliss?

Creator’s abundance deftly provided sans comment,

Spirit gently guides into the day’s dance with a kiss;

 

There’s no greater wonder than accepting this day.

Each created element of life, a place, contribution rich.

Including all in one’s embrace, allows truth to have its say.

From slightest particle to universe complete, each a niche.

 

With each discrete reality, substance, form, limits true.

Being-ness known in languages, cultures unique to each,

Translation a critical skill needed for all, not just a few,

Community builds, complete, within each life-times’ reach.

 

Step out onto the deck of your fine sailing craft.

Open wide your heart, your arms, take in the joy.

Worry not what may come, ‘twill flow abaft,

Take up the slack, hold the rudder, all skill employ.

 

Creator seldom allows the doldrums to capture us.

Word Become Flesh provides substance we can know.

Spirit ever sprightly, guides safely through any fuss,

We are enjoined afresh, awake, mercy’s seeds to sow.
