Arising from the reading of Psalm 1
7th Sunday after Easter, Year B
16th Sunday after Pentecost, Year C
Delight is born of discipline chosen.
Contentment grows with wisdom.
Deep listening leads
along a cairn-marked trail,
dew clinging to grass bent
by pilgrim feet.
The sky is blue here.
Birdsong lifts the head.
A cool breeze caresses the cheek.
Legs grow strong like tree trunks;
arms branch flexibly
and dance with the wind.
From each finger drips
a ripening fruit.
The water is fresh and clear;
the plain is broad.
Come.
