Eternal Spirit,
far beyond knowing,
yet known to us in our
deepest innermost being:
You who are beyond the outermost reaches
of the universe,
we reach out to you with words
of one of the languages of this small planet
and presume that you understand,
only to discover that you understand
far more than we can speak
of the inner longings and desires of our hearts,
far more than we intended
of the evil that lurks in the dark corners of our souls.
We ask you to reveal yourself, and you turn
and reveal ourselves to us
far more than we ever wanted anyone to see
including you . . . including ourselves.
We seek to master the complexity
of who you are,
and you come to us in the simplicity
of one who broke bread, drank wine, and said
“Love one another like this,” and then
washed our feet.
We ask to see the full light of your presence;
you wisely shine it on us in small quantities
lest we be so blinded
we lose sight of you altogether.
Eternal Spirit,
far beyond knowing,
continue to make yourself known to us
as much as we can stand. Amen.
