​The Opening

Father – I come to you.
I find you in my Being.
And the more I find you
The more I find of You,
Expansive as the universe.
 
Sometimes, I think that by finding You,
Ever greater, ever richer, ever more Real,
My whole body will split apart,
Too con-formed to contain
The Resurrected Christ,
The Temple of Jahweh
The Light of the World.

Pray God my whole Being does open up
And burst forth
[As does a huge Peace Rose
From a small bud on a thorny stem];
Te beautiful opulence of one
Who resonates with Light and Love and Life
To be your Grace in the world for a time.
