Psalm 104



O Lord, how manifold are your works!

Today I have awakened entirely too early.

Leaving the house I startled a deer, she snorted grumpily crashing through the woods.

In awe and appreciation I stood beneath the arc of stars.

On this Rosh Hashanah I awake to a new year, new challenges, new opportunities.

It is also the feast day of Michael and all the angels, a whole other order of being.

Another translation of the verse above: That Which Exists what are your works becoming?

That Which Exists is constantly becoming, emerging, unfolding.

There is, I perceive, divine intention. But just as the starry host is beyond my full comprehension, so surely is that intention.

We engage divine intention through becoming: changing, opening, choosing, failing, succeeding, discovering, unlearning, creating, and risking.
