Blessings (Psalms and Prayers)

Lord Jesus, 

Silent, cold, without hue.  Each elfin crystal unique in form.  Individual and never to be repeated.  Yet all repetitive in nature.  Dainty, delicate, and with character.  Nearly lighter than air they dance on the breath of the frigid.  Some twirl, some dart, others float with rhythm.  And each brings a gift special unto itself – love never ending, joy maintaining, peace abiding.  Each purposeful in their duty.  All content in their destiny.  Without numbers they come.

They pile and interlock.  Mold and cement.  The minute transform into the massive and vast.  A mantle of volume is formed.  The blanket guards and protects, calms and quiets.  With time come envelopment, fortification, and warmth. 

And the warm brings changes in form and purpose.  But the motive is never diminished.  The intention remains even as the hour changes.  Some now wash.  Some nourish.  Others sheathe.  Some teach.  All enlighten and reflect.  

In the still my soul shouts without voice, Hallelujah, my Lord, Hallelujah. 

And my very breath ices and rises up towards the heavens.  Insignificant amongst the immeasurable.  The weak reaching in return to the Mighty.  The unworthy outstretched back towards the Holy.  Yet understood.  Indeed, loved. Unfathomably, cherished.

And they fall.   

Amen.
