I Feel Your Presence With Me A reimaging of Psalm 139 Fa Lane O Mystical Creator, you formed me in the ancient days of love and harmony. I faintly remember, in the lining of my soul, the tranquility that hovered there. In the days of now, the days of rising and of not remedying yesterday’s sin, The days of ignoring and denying my loose tongue and hurtful thoughts, You know exactly where I am, when I sit and when I stand. You know when I move forward for justice and when I stall with indifference. You surround me with my better self, just beyond my own vision; but I feel it- that better self. It is your presence with me that I feel and hear making its way through today’s noise to arouse my soul. Where can I go from your presence since you formed me and have been with me since ancient days? If I could run as a leopard, I couldn’t flee from your Spirit. If I could shift and swing as a monkey I couldn’t out maneuver your grace. If I slid into a pit of deep despair as dark as any otter’s den, even there you would reach in. I hear your voice, the echo just beyond my hearing. I see my better self, just beyond my own embodied image. Even when I try to run and hide from you, I know you as “home”. Thank you for calling me your own. Draw me forward out of the ancient mystery into today’s obedience.
