When I get grounded in the water.
Grounded in the love of God
the never-ending wellspring of life
poured out for all who would drink
draw in the energy, the love, the grace
of God’s gifts, freely given
like the woman at the well
we ask for the cup to be filled
for our thirst to be quenched,
without having to walk to the well
thirsty and tired, hot and tired
wanting, needing that water
grounding our faith
strengthening our spirits
to do his work

Written 8/27/00. It says it all about my summer
retreat, living in a cabin, on an island, in a lake.
