At a certain
point you say
to the woods, to the sea,
to the mountains,
the world,
Now I am ready.
Now I will stop and be wholly attentive.
You empty yourself and wait,
listening...
Annie Dillard
God of Immensity
Divine Parent birthing all for unknown aeons,
Creating beyond the final frontier of space,
Deep Wisdom knowing neither limit nor finality
Nothing exceeds the wonder of your creation.
Stronger than all gravity’s attractions,
Speedier than the flights of light,
More peaceful than untouched stillness,
Consummate Being, Wholeness One yet Three
Total Energy spending with no diminution
Ever-new Beauty of unchanging full harmony
Inclusive Love lavishing, yearning for a return
Exceeding the concepts humans frame.
O God of Immensity
come live
You in me and I in You
Anne de Stacpoole, RSCJ
