Although there are rocks and tree roots

Wariko Kai
April 1993 (Vol. VI, No. 4)

Although there are rocks and tree roots,
Rippling along, just rippling along,
The water runs.

Quote of the Day

Love is my light and
my salvation,
whom shall I fear?...

One thing have I asked of Love,
that I shall ever seek:
That I might dwell in the
Heart of Love
All the days of my life,

To behold the Beauty of my Beloved...

Call upon the Beloved,
be strong and trust
in the heart's courage.
Trust in the power of Love;
the Beloved's unconditional and
everlasting love for you.
~ Nan Merrill, from her interpretation of "Psalm 27" in PSALMS FOR PRAYING
