Living water, breath of fire,
baptismal waters wending deep
within the soul's lonely corridors,
singing of silence, and the deep:

I commit myself to You,
every part of You: I commit myself
to the invisible nourishment of air,
the phantom that sustains;

to the eternal movement of water,
that ancient font, that unfathomable sea;
I commit myself to earth,
the stone, the clay, the boundless plain;

to the mystery of fire,
what irradiating joy, such
abstract desire, the
primordial chaotic agent:

that which consumes
but does not consume itself.
I commit myself to spirit,
panoply of imagination,

that which dances with itself,
spriteful, the most resounding Echo,
redoubling and recombining
until Life's laughter overflows.

Sweet marriage of water and earth
nourished by fire and air,
El Elohe Israel
Mother, receive me into Your care.

I like it, I like it.

btw, don't know that you'll read this before the fact, but I have to drive to Canton today to see the doctor about the results of the MRI of my knee.. So as far as mysterious hints have gone as to where you are, I'm pretty sure I'll be driving past you going there and back. If you'd like to meet someplace for lunch or someplace around 3, just tell me when and where.

Damn...

No, I didn't get this in time. I also apologize for not letting you know that I had plans on Sunday, which was why I wasn't able to get to the bookstore (in addition to the fact that I didn't know exactly where it was...).

What's wrong with your knee? Let me know!

I figured you didn't get it in time...

As for what's wrong with my knee, I've been to two doctors to try to find out and neither had any idea. Probably it's what I always thought it was - pulled tendons. In 1989 playing soccer I ran into another girl on top of the ball and pulled all the tendons in my left knee. I essentially couldn't run for the next five years. Healing was slowed by putting it out of joint once a year. then for the past three years I was building up strength and hadn't put it out of joint. I put it out of joint this summer for the first time in a while and finally went to see a doctor about it.

Thank you. :) It's a second draft; I still need to shore it up with revisions. But I appreciate the encouragement.
