God who is found
in the Word become flesh,
God who is found
in what words won’t express:
we give thanks that silence
and art and movement
help us make sense of life
in ways that thinking
and reasoning
and masterful theses
will always fail to achieve.
Help us balance ourselves
so we can find deeper wisdom
in the gift of simplicity,
in the work of being fully alive.
Amen.
