O God,

here i am,

ceaseless, furtive, unfree.

still

you call me to be whole and
true.

one,
constant image of love
for you.

O God, faithful and good

i rest in you.

amen

With the gift of listening comes the gift of healing, because listening to a child or a friend until he has said the last word in his heart is healing and consoling. Someone has said that it is possible to ‘listen a person’s soul into existence.’ I like that.
