Foreboding
Foreboding
Whence comes this all-encompassing
feeling of foreboding?
It catches me unawares
And takes over.
I want to slink away and hide.
But where would I go?
I can’t get away from myself.
What hope can You offer?
“I lift up my eyes to the hills—
From where will my help come?
My help comes from the Lord
Who made heaven and earth”
(Ps. 121:1-2, NRSVue).
In thee will I rest.
May it be so.
Blessed be.
This Mystic Musing
Comes to You From Catherine
