EVER FLOWING (M. Wiederkehr, V. Frye)
O, ever-changing God, protect us from congealing,
Ever flowing, ever flowing, ever flowing, ever flowing.
‘Til we flow into a Sacred Stream,
‘Til we flow into that Eternal Drink which is You.
Then pour us back into the world and let the flowing begin again,
And again, and again, and again.
One of the hardest things to do during painful events such as I have been experiencing is to be still. In 1989 I wrote:
Pray that I don't panic
Pray I can be still
Pray that I will find God
in the midst of being ill.
Life is a flow, sometimes ebbing and sometimes flooding, but always a flow.
