‘Poem (prayer) for the week’ — “Rippling Earth”:
You are kind in a thousand ways I can't name:
the world ripples with divine tenderness
and I can see it with the breeze.
May the unevenness of the earth below me
be an underfoot signpost of pocketing Presence,
a chance to find my bearings in an uneven Kingdom,
a shifting tabernacle where all is always being made new.
Keep strengthening my stabilizing muscles,
so that I can delight in shifts and tides
without faltering.
Keep me flexible with the warmth of your Spirit,
that I might stretch and bend in concert with you.
Amen.
-- Emily Cash, Driftwood Prayers
