An Evening Prayer

Whichever way we turn, O God, there is your face in the light of the moon and patterns of stars

in scarred mountain rifts and ancient groves

in mighty seas and creatures of the deep.

Whichever way we turn, O God, there is your face in the light of eyes we love

in the salt of tears we have tasted

in weathered countenances east and west

in the soft skin glow of the child everywhere.

Whichever way we turn, O God, there is your face there is your face among us.

Amen
