Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Lent
O Lord, you have given everything its place in the world, and no one can make it otherwise. For it is your creation, the heavens and the earth and the stars: you are the Lord of all. Esther 13:9-11
The sunshine slanting over the world again. Walking through the pasture I felt heat radiating my dark foot falls and long gray steps of the rain and cold. The songs of birds I know, and those I do not, rain a color all their own over my clumsy pacing around the labyrinth ground: as prayer becomes my breathing and my breathing
a blaze of blessing
twining
the blush of light green unfurling
toward the far flung stars
still singing.
