Thought
The hard austerity for some
Is not in fasting or in prayer
But in completely letting go
While father in the air will throw
For we are children are we not?
This simple fact we have forgot.
Securely knowing he will catch
When caught in dangers that attach
Holding hand in trust release
May our loving faith increase
On us with his watchful gaze
Drops us not as his hands raise
Prayer
O Lord of certainty who sports with us and yet protects. I let go and release so that I may delight in being thrown, caught and held. Since Thy supply is always certain and Thy destiny always sure let me only hold Thy hand and be content.
