Lectio: Saturday Evening, May 16

After I went on my evening walk around the neighborhood, noticing the birds swooping and even the poor dried worms on the sidewalk…a part of creation.  Listening to a podcast with Rabbi Lawrence Kushner, reflecting on Kabbala…on the “isness” of things and the privilege of being a piece, a slice, a drop, of the isness.

Then, back to my Lectio, sitting in my chair.  This evening, from Psalm 8, NRSV version:

“When I look at your heavens, the

work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars that you

have established;

what are human beings that you

are mindful of them,

mortals that you care for them?”

And I smile, because I realize that God is mindful too.
