journey

Happy the person whose refuge is in You,
whose heart is set on the pilgrim ways!
As they pass through the valley of tears
they regard it as a place of springs;
and the Lord provides even those who lose their way
with pools to quench their thirst.
--Psalm 84:5-6

When our heart is set on the path
and we take refuge in our Source,
though we walk through the valley of tears
we are given living water.

And what is this living water
but Your presence.

For You have walked this path before,
know its every step and yet
no trail exists except the opening
of this moment.

Old ways shattering.
This step stepping
lands on solid ground.
