Pause.

 

Your body is a divine stream,

as is your spirit.

 

When your two great rivers merge, one voice is found 

and the earth applauds

in excitement.

 

Shrines are erected to those songs

the hand and heart have sung

as they served

the world

 

with a love, a love

we cherish.

 

St. John of the Cross. “To Those Songs.”  From Love Poems From God by Daniel Ladinsky. 

 

“God’s blessings are like a river.” 

 

Psalm 46:4
