Bring now the eternal mind
The force for good
Consider now the gravity of a baby’s first step
The way the morning star is ever present.
Bring now our better angels
The balance in nature
Consider now – without asking – my neighbor’s generosity
and the kindness of strangers.
Bring now our healing prayer
for the soul of our country.
Consider now the solitary egret leading the bevy of ducks in the creek
Bring now, bring now, bring now.
