Eclectic Waters

I don’t want visions or dreams if I cannot touch you

All I want is you Lord.

Teach me to speak for you alone

Draw me into the silence of your love

The loudness of your power

I need you alone

You’re the culmination where all my desire ends

If only I could touch you

Teach me to see you and love you in the people around me

To feed the needy, to heal the sick to love each being, because you loved them

While they are still sinners, you love them

Teach me

I crave comfort and approval, I mistake it for love

Please teach me to live on the edge of myself

Of my talents

Of all I know

Leaning into the abyss and wind

Believing against all rationality that you are the God

Who fights

Who wins

Who saves

Who heals

Who fathers

I live in perfect peace

I live in the place of my heart

That longs to be yours alone

You are all

All

That is necessary for life and breath,

All

For me.

looking forward to a quiet evening of puttering -

some homework

a movie

and getting to bed early.

In quietness and trust is your strength - Ps 30:15
