The Answer is Love

I wrote this song back in 2021 when we were still in the throes of the pandemic.  As is the case with a lot of the songs I’ve written in the past several years, I wrote it for a service at church.  The theme that day was pretty simple — the love of God.  Simple, yes, but there’s an eternity in that simple phrase.  The love of God, or use whatever term you like — the ground of our being, what connects us, the heartbeat that unites us.  It’s an ever unfolding reality where we are invited to join in.  Somewhere in that love we are made whole and we are undone.  We are unraveled and completed.  We are cherished and we learn to cherish.  There we find that we are lost and found, alone and cosmically united with Life.

Here’s a blessing to take with you this week:

As we go

May we go together,

calling each other by our true names—

our eyes amazed at each one we see,

shining like the sun.

Trusting in the promise

that love is the ground that we walk upon,

that love is the air that we breathe,

that love is our true sustenance and energy for each day,

and that love is always reaching out, gathering in, and weaving us together—

a wild and rich menagerie of grace.
