If I am but a drop of water cascading from a mountain and reflecting the rainbow of your beauty, I am delighted and deeply satisfied.
If I am but a leaf that has served its time and has nothing left to do but drift & fall on the gentleness of your winds, I am glad and grateful.
If I am but one step along the journey, unable to see beginning or end but only to greet travelers for this one moment, I am humbled and joyful.
If I am but one note in your eternal song, O God, singing my slip of a grace note while celestial bodies trumpet their chorus, I am thrilled and at peace.
on Psalm 95:1
Your statements provided a wonderful springboard for discussion with my seniors in the facility in which I work. The idea of looking back at our memories but at the same time looking forward, knowing that we are all travelers on the path of life and that each person is placed where we are for a reason. We can rest in that and be joyful despite the present circumstances. Thank you for aiding in a deep discussion.
Wonderful, Paula, and thank you for sharing.
