A reflection on Psalm 65 from my book Soil of the Divine.
Birds at first light
tune their voices
offering melodious praise,
not one holding back.
They loudly welcome the dawn,
in awe of God‘s handiwork.
“‘Tis just instinct,”
you say,
“pre-programmed
animal behavior.
Nothing more.”
But perhaps
they do not suppress
their instinct to worship
in the same way
that so many people do.
The meadows clothed themselves with flocks, the valleys decked themselves with grain, they shout and saying together for joy. Psalm 65:13
