Tonight, a meditation
on some beautiful wisteria I encountered in West Concord...

These beautiful flowers exist
for the simplest, most noble of reasons:
to reveal the glory of God's own face,
to share with bees in the circle of life,
to spend themselves in giving joy,
to dance on the breath of a passing breeze,
to be all they were created to be
- nothing more, nothing less, nothing else...
And me, Lord? I'm also made
for the simplest, most noble of reasons;
to reveal your beauty in my words and deeds,
to reverence creation: your work, my home,
to spend myself for others' joy,
to move where your Spirit leads and guides,
to be all I was made to be
- nothing more, nothing less, nothing else...
May I be as faithful to my calling, Lord,
as wisteria is to hers;
by your grace, help me be
who you made me to be
- nothing more, nothing less, nothing else...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep rest in your peace...
Amen.
