Psalm of Abundance
|
Divine Mother in whom all things live and have their being You enfold us in your never ending cycle of life As you express your joy in creation Through the seed's transformation into bud, flower, fruit And back to seed again We see how you give yourself in the changing seasons In sun, rain and snow that help all things to grow Thank you for the beauty and the bounty Of our beloved earth. Divine Origin, out of love you created an infinite variety of living things Golden oceans of grain, red apples on the tree, purple plums Multicoloured fish, majestic elephants, great whales, soaring eagles These you have given us to care for You open our eyes to see that we live in Your Garden still We honor the sacredness of all your creations And we are grateful for your abundant gifts Divine Source of all beings, You give to all creatures A means to sustain themselves We give thanks that all lives are so intimately connected That even a sparrow's fall is felt in the soul And the sparrow's song resonates throughout creation. We are grateful that we are a part of your divine tapestry We promise to maintain the intricate and delicate web of life On our beloved planet earth And we praise the perfection of your design Indivisible life you course like a river through all things You are the One out of which arises the many You are the many which comprises the one We live by your grace And we rejoice that this is so — Kamala Moore (October 2007)
