The planting of the Lord

The planting of the Lord



„To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,
to give unto them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;
that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the LORD,
that he might be glorified.“

( Jesaja, Cap. 61,3)



Can you hear the sound ?
Can you see me ?
Can you believe in my words ?
When the wind blows
in the desert
I should hear at the voice of my Lord
whispering
all His secrets
and promises
so deeply,
so gently
in my wounded hearth..
expanding,
shining,
coming true in my body.
O, but I am blind now
and I can`t hear anything anymore.
The desert`s truth
is hard to bear
because
it makes the traveler
poor
and lonely.
But to hear the sound,
and to see the new land
it is good
to be blind
and to be deaf.
In the desert
learn to see
and to hear
the inner word
of our Lord.
He takes the outer light away from our eyes
and He dispels the outer sound from our hears
to be the One in
each One of us:
Brothers and sisters
within the One.
O Jerusalem, wake up,
the darkness is covering the earth
but the Lord
shall arise upon you,
all the world
shall come to your light
and kings
to the brigtness
of your raising,
just up your eyes about
and see
how
all they come together;
they come to you,
they bring the incense
and the gold
to praise
our Lord.
Can you hear the desert`s sound now ?
Can you see me ?
Can you believe in my words,
when the wind blows
in the desert ?
