“Let me know that you are always present,

in every atom of my life.

Let me keep surrendering my self

until I am utterly transparent.

Let my words be rooted in honesty

and my thoughts be lost in your light,

Unnamable God, my essence,

my origin, my life-blood, my home.”

— Psalm 19, from A Book of Psalms, Selected & Adapted from the Hebrew by Stephen Mitchell
