In praise of the I AM who was and is and will be:

On the wings of the eagle I soar to the high reaches of the mountains, to the desolate snows of Mount Everest and the trembling sides of Redoubt Volcano—and your fierce love is there.

On the currents of the ocean I sink past the bright and busy coral reef to the deep canyon of unimaginable glowing sea creatures—and your startling beauty is there.

On the rising steam of hot ugali and stewed goat meat I laugh with the crowd of bodies dancing and children weaving throughout—and your brilliant music is there.

On the pulsing beam over Cape May Point I marvel at the seasons changing across land, bay, ocean, land, bay, ocean, land, bay, ocean—and your steadfast light is there.

How precious is your steadfast love, O God.
With you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

(Psalm 36:5-9)
