day 248

“My soul longs, indeed it

          faints

    for the courts of the LORD;” Psalm 84:2a

 

under the hoops

in the inner-city

where the retired pro

teaches her skills,

on the lawns where

the grandmother volleys

back and forth with

her grandson,

in the courtyards of

schools, where bullies

are taught classes

in kindness, we faint

in your presence,

our God
