To dwell in eternity
To train our minds upon the truth
we cannot see and do not live,
returning solely, doggedly to it
and to His eternal promise and solace –
this is the heart of our renunciation.
Invulnerable, immortal beings
(not creatures) are we, far removed in reality
from the world’s chaos, threat and drama.
This is our meditation,
the venue of our remembrance,
the bread we are daily given,
calling us ceaselessly, silently,
to guide us through our frightening,
obscure dreams into the final (we pray)
clarity.
O child of God, the choice we have if any
is to dwell in the world or to dwell in eternity.
