You welcome us home as honored guests,
back into the fold of your Heart.
You have prepared a garden for us,
a garden of joy hidden in our hearts.
O friends, enter into this eternal garden,
befriend the Guide who awaits you.
Enter into the great, resounding Silence,
be still and know the true peace;
Know the all-embracing life of Love;
and raise your voice with grateful acclamations of praise!
-Nan Merrill, from “Psalm 119”, Psalms for Praying
