Friends, I found the following poem in a novel I was reading.  It’s by Denise Levertov.  You may know it already, but it has drawn me back to read and re-read it ~ and to be still.  It is a gift - truth I know and yet forget. . .

As swimmers dare

to lie face to the sky

and water bears them,

as hawks rest upon air

and air sustains them;

so would I learn to attain

freefall, and float

into Creator Spirit’s deep embrace,

knowing no effort earns

that all-surrounding grace.

Such a gift!

Blessings,
