Wholesome Invitation
At the crossroads of our lives,
We are invited to stand and look.
Look within and all around.
Another request
For our listening
“Ask for the ancient paths,”
A reminder “Trust the promise.”
Good is here,
All is well.
Come and find
“Rest
for your souls.”

Onto our landscapes
Waiting for our awareness
Enchanted by the beauty
Returning us to ever joy
Stirring us to delight.

BALANCE
Oh, God hear my desire
with these questions.
“Is it up to me, or...
is it up to you?”
“What is this notice of
out of balance
that invites me
deeper to Be
to listen and discern?”
“Did you whisper
in the noise?”
“Did your deep peace
in the moment of grace
invite me to
notice You
the balancer?”
- Mary Ellen Robertson/ May 2014
A Psalm to The Great Energizer
O Great Source,
of all being
You are
the fullness of Creation.
You are life in us.
Help us to love as you love.
Your energy will be our source,
radiating to our world.
May this be our worship,
Sacrament, alleluia.
May we be Love as
You loved us.
