Lord, I would run for you, loving the miles for your sake.
I would climb the highest tree
to be that much closer.
Lord, I would learn also to kneel down
into the world of the invisible, the inscrutable and the everlasting.
Then I will move no more than the leaves of a tree on a day of no wind,
bathed in light,
like the wanderer who has come home at last
and kneels in peace, done with all unnecessary things;
every motion; even words.
Mary Oliver – “Coming to God: First Days”
May I do as Christ did when I serve others. Humbly with love.
