liturgy

I go to the pond
i repent, i confess, 
i ask for forgiveness.
i practice ministry.
i stop to talk to strangers.
i practice communion.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit 
are present. 
I walk past a man 
and i hear him reciting scripture aloud 
as he walks his dogs. 
i see a divorcee, a widow, and a
mother of a dead son, 
i pray for her. 
i talk with the wild fish 
that lurk in the shallows.
I encourage them to seek 
deeper waters. 
He restoreth my soul. 
I practice thanksgiving. 
i head home 
in reflection, 
with great contentment. 
thanks be to God.
