There is a River (Psalm 46, Interpolated)

Prayer of the week

There is a river
coursing through the cosmos
(it is love)

Whose streams
—peace, truth, joy—
wending through the wilds,
nurture the soil,
sprout seeds in each square inch of space,
cause blossoms to unfurl
in even the darkest places

Make glad
a human heart,
coming into union,
taking up residence in

The City of God:
this great oneness
opening to the river,
making straight the way,
carving out

The Holy Habitation
indwelling
—inmost sanctuary—

Of the Most High.
in me, You
and in You,
me.

Be still and
Know.
