It is a new world.

New because dawn.

New because fresh wind.

New because I am awake.

Is the world new, or am I, Lord?

(Letter #3,752)

Sap, life, flows in spring, then ceases.

Endless spring, can my trust in you remain alive? I am distracted, the sap slows.

Faith caught in amber.

Let me keep asking for help, Lord. Unstick me.

(Letter #3,751)

Let us encourage one another daily, dear neighbor.

Let us support one another in good times and bad, dear friend.

We of the village are one people, let us be unified and love one another.

Alone, reflecting on the day, come to me, Lord — how can I encourage, love, support my fellows?

(Letter #3,750)

You lifted me up from miry clay.

You set my feet on rock.

Nothing by chance. Even my mistakes brought me here.

Be yet further with me, in my goings, Lord.

(Letter #3,749)
