A Psalm of Connection 

by Patricia Flasch 

You are living all around us
In every flower plant tree and weed
In this lovely English garden
In the middle of this sweet desert home…

You are living deep within me
In the sleepless night and at my side
 In the endless tossing and turning
And when I awaken into a day full of ease and service…

You are in the checkbook
The freshly scrubbed satillo tile in the kitchen
The new and most confusing Smart Phone
The slightly messy storage shed
The empty hummingbird feeders
  And in the trash…

You are in every nook and cranny of my
Inner and outer world
You are all that is and all that matters
You are my Beloved…
