Silence and Stillness before God (2 minutes)

“He asked, ‘What’s this you’re discussing so intently as you walk along?’”
Luke 24:17 

Poem written by Rob Seward

In these rough times,
in the middle of a work week,
with all the cares of the world upon us,
(and perhaps the looks and talk between us choppy,
our feelings roiled and churning,)
it is as though we are crossing a wild river together,
cool water thigh deep and fast moving,
a river so wide we have forgotten the peace of the near shore
and cannot yet imagine the far shore:
we walk through the water
feeling along with our feet over the slippery stones,
the stream pulling at our legs as we move
from one slick foothold to the next,
the sound of the water rippling over rocks, drowning out our words,
and yet we know the other is there;
when I reach out my hand to you, your hand is there,
and somewhere in our hearts we know
soon we will rest on the farther shore
together close and warm,
the long and perilous crossing forgotten.
 
Lord, we thank you for the gift of companions on the journey, that serve to remind us of the constancy of your faithfulness.  

Conclude with Stillness (2 minutes)
