When I look back
When I look back,
I feel the cool, damp grass beneath my feet,
When you called me into your presence in the morning.
When I was allowed to listen to your heartbeat in the silence.
When I look back,
I see the arid, hard times in the scree fields,
Through which you led me:
Through desert times, distortions, worries and countless questions.
When I look back,
I hear the laughter of shared meals as well
as the whispers from conversations in pairs, and I realize
that you have blessed me with companions.
When I look back,
like in a movie, I contemplate moments of joy, of abundance,
where I was free and light as a child
to taste the good life.
When I look back,
dog-eared books fall into my hands, letters and fragments of dialogues, and I realize:
You spoke to me in very different ways.
When I look back,
many lonely moments dissolve and I can recognize your work. Thank you for moments of peace, times of challenge,
shared fellowship, pleasure and joy, wisdom and direction.
