In the pressures of the day – whether in our erstwhile ‘ordinary’ lives or in the current ‘extraordinary’ covid19 dominated world – how can we avoid being tossed this way and that by waves and tides of emotion and reaction, drop below the surface of the present moment and touch into life’s deeper stream?
When my heart is hopelessly broken
When my prayer is wordlessly spoken
When these arms are endlessly open
When my faith in my goodness is shaken
When my trust in a god is forsaken
When my last possession is taken
Then what will remain
Twixt the wind and the rain
What shadow be cast
On the quiet wet grass
Where feet used to tread
Who will stand there instead
Of this idol of mine
That I once thought divine?
