Ocean of God

With passion pray.

With passion make love.

With passion eat and drink and dance and play.

Why look like a dead fish

in this ocean of God?

― Rumi

It is Saturday

Saturday

my day

my day to sleep in a little (all the way to 7am!)

my day to catch up

my day

to let my soul catch up with my body

this Saturday day Lord

there is a lot to do

a sermon, hiding somewhere in my heart

and in my computer

trees to be felled

wood to be cut

so much to do

it is easy Lord to look at all that life brings and sighs

but Lord

this is the day that you have made

this day

yes, this very day

is your gift to me

Lord

help me to jump into this day with passion

may I greet my wife

(if she ever wakes up J

With passion

may I write my sermon

with passionate love for you in my heart

may my dear friend Josh and I cut wood

yes

with passion (is that even possible)

for this world

the day

this little piece of creation I live in

these people I meet

are all part of an ocean of

love and joy and happiness

are all

YOU
