Be still and empty
God shall fill you
with far greater fullness
than you could ever
wish or will.
~ Angelus Sileshis, with thanks to Ruth Shrader
In our secret yearnings
we wait for your coming,
and in our grinding despair
we doubt that you will...
Give us the grace and the impatience
to wait for your coming to the bottom of our toes,
to the edges of our fingertips.
We do not want our several worlds to end.
Come in your power
and come in your weakness
in any case
and make all things new.
