Awake, a wake, the subtle parting of the waters.

Conscious to the movement of God,

awake to that wake.

Awake, we give thanks

in humility, for humility, for learning

we are children of men and women

returning one day to the dust of the earth,

that lofty and high mountain of origin.

We will melt into a thousand years,

somehow enter the untime of God,

the reign of love,

in the company of distributors of grace,

openness to others,

ready in solitude and rightly praying to be with others.

And be awake!

Be at peace with your heart's eye open,

beholding, beheld, in the palm of God,

in the cradle of creation,

in the movement of God upon the waters of life.

(1 Thessalonians 3:7-13, Psalm 90, Matthew 24:42:59)
