At the ending of day, in the darkness of night….

 

 

“At the ending of day,
in the darkness of night
we seek an inner assurance of your presence.

Our body is still
and our soul is silent
as we listen for the renewing springs of your Spirit
deep in the ground of our being
and in earth’s quietness all around us.

Guide us to the wellsprings of health
in the landscape of our soul
and to the hidden reservoirs of strength
in the people and places of our life
that we may be made well this night,
that we may be made well.”

~ John Philip Newell,
in Sounds of the Eternal
