you have found praise . . . Psalm 8:2a (The Grail)
in the soft breathing
of the newborn placed
in its mother's arms,
we hear the Spirit
moving on the first
morning of creation.
in the excited jabber
of the toddler whose eyes
grow bigger every time
a firefly floats across
the night sky,
we hear the Word
calling all life into being.
in the young ones
who begin to make up
their own stories, as we
carry the closed book
out of the room at night,
we hear the Imagination
of the universes saying simply,
'that's so good!'
