This illuminating poem is a meaningful accompaniment to my worship experience today. How easy it is to lose sight of both gratitude and the need for contemplative space to recognize the Divine—“the shapeless bright”—in the often monotonous rhythms of daily life. Thank you, Joseph, for this lyrical reminder to see the eternal in the midst of our temporal tasks & struggles.
‘the breath cleaving a self from silence’ reminds me, we are made in Gods’ image. And it’s Sunday…Thank you, Joseph

Thanks JM. I sent this to a good friend (his dad died on Sunday). You have helped soothe his heavy heart.
This is so beautiful. I needed to read this today.
Lovely view of the Eternal in this. Thank you, Joseph.
Ah so so good. 🙏
Why should it be a gift after all? Can it be a gift for all? Is this universal? I am missing the point of it being a gift for all.
