Zoom Out

Letter 4435

I imagine you have prepared the dawn just for me, eagerly awaiting my discovering of it. Could it be you made the world for your own amusement and I but inhabit it?

Zoom out, see me walking alone across an open and empty field. I am simply part of the picture. Here, in the shadow of the mountain, we tend our gardens and dwellings unaware of the greater plan.

Grant me a glimpse, Lord, that I may sustain this journey.


Consider:

Can I see the plan I am a part of?
