BEING


Tune: Theme from “Black Orpheus”

 


My life is as

Vast as the sea

No boundaries no

Floor beneath me.

 

Yet as I look within

No man has greater sin.

I am the least of all

I daily fall.

 

But it’s then when I 

Doubt that I can

I choose to be nothing 

For man.

 

To die is my lot 

I live as if not

With Paul

I merge with all.   

I see then as 

Never before

The secrets of 

heaven my store.

 

With wisdom twice my age

My life an open page

Though with each insight

Gain a deeper pain.

 

Yet I live with the 

Lord on my side

And wild intuition

My guide.

 

I’m sent as a sign

The bread and the wine

My form

And virgin born. 

Then I act seeing

Action is vain

And accomplishments

Never as gain.

 

To only do is less

Than forming humanness So mission I must be

To set men free.

 

Called to burn as an Undying flame

Each word and each 

Gesture the Name.

 

I must through life-loss

An exalted cross

My place

Reveal his face 

Then the Lord through 

My life prays a prayer

And my being is 

Filled being there.

 

I can invent anew what

All the saints once knew

By being who I am 

I create man.

 

And it’s no longer

I who is seen

But the Lord standing 

There in between.

 

Finished as I die

Held there between

Sky and sod

To save our God.


 

Yes, it's there on the limbs of the worm‑eaten tree where the All and the Nothing can BE.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.
