CODA

“Save, O God this vagrant seeking You

from ever finding You.  Find me rather

in Your ceaseless search

where I already am.

Draw me with You into

Your vagabond life,

Forever searching and forever finding,

and make it mine.

Relieve me of wanting and having,

My ever having and wanting.  Take me into

the circle dance of Your freedom

which never searches

and never possesses.

In You to seek and to find are ever one.

In You seeking and finding never are.

How can I seek what is already here?

How can I find what never was lost?"

[In Praise of the Useless Life, p.137]

May God Be Praised!
