A CONFLUENCE OF DAYS, WEEKS AND YEARS

by Jonathan Vold

Sunday, December 11

The Source

from Walled Gardens


God takes earth and forms our body,
   takes wind and forms our speech
   gives reason to our minds,
   inspiration to our hearts,
   invitation to our souls,
   cause to our creation.

God gives theme to every generation
      and truth to every corruption;
God is the source from which everything comes,
      the place to which everything returns:
Good proceeds from God and evil departs from God,
     as God created the spirit of each,
   good and evil in every soul,
   as God authors the soul,
   originates the mind,
   makes each of us something out of nothing
   and exalts us, gives us life out of the void.
