Quote for the Day

I found this article in Christian Century that introduced me to a new poem. It's a beautiful way to think about our relationship to our creator and a good thought to begin the year:

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.
