lectio divina – Longing For Water

2022.11.06: 20/20

the answers we seek
can often be obscured by 
the questions we ask

we don’t know what we don’t know 
until we see it in hindsight

with no wealth to bribe 
the lowly petitions God 
who will hear their cry

heaven is the place 
where the lowly keeps the gate 
who will be welcomed

the poor in spirit 
knows that all of life is gift 
to be shared with all

virtue starts with gratitude 
generosity follows

spending recklessly 
wastefully extravagant 
the Creator’s love 

reconciling all who see 
their errors and turn around
