Joy

Ah, there is joy in the fullness of life
in singing, exhultation
in movement in activity
the welling emotion
overflowing and uplifting

but beware

return to Me
in the stillness of your heart
return to Me
drink deep
deeper and deeper again
find me in the stillness
discipline this body this mind this heart
to stop, to obey,
to fall still
and listen

Draw back the bow
to its full stretch

so when you are sent forth into the world again
the aim is straight and true.

Bless child
remember Me
in the least of your duties
hear me in the splash in the sink
the heat of the water
the turn for a smile
sink deep in me
in all your duties
I am waiting
to bless and sanctify
All


Nothing is superior, inferior
all is Mine
turn your heart again
to Me

I am waiting
to bless and sanctify
you.

Bless you Lord!

The heart swells in silence
delights in the smallest movement
yearns to return to You
in complete stillness
complete surrender


The stillness at the centre of all movement

You will find me
but first stop still
to recognise again
My Voice

I will come again...
to sanctify all
Now.
