My favorite book of all time is Charlotte’s Web. I especially love the wonderful odes to the seasons that the author, E. B. White writes. They are his love letters to nature. Psalm 90 feels a little like that: a love letter to nature, although perhaps nature is God’s love letter to the universe. God is love and love is God and aren’t we lucky to dwell in all that love.
Namaste! Amen!
The Readings
Genesis 3:9-24
Psalm 90
Lord, you have been our dwelling-place
in all generations.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
You turn us back to dust,
and say, ‘Turn back, you mortals.’
For a thousand years in your sight
are like yesterday when it is past,
or like a watch in the night.
You sweep them away; they are like a dream,
like grass that is renewed in the morning;
in the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
in the evening it fades and withers.
So teach us to count our days
that we may gain a wise heart.
Turn, O Lord! How long?
Have compassion on your servants!
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
and for as many years as we have seen evil.
Let your work be manifest to your servants,
and your glorious power to their children.
Let the favour of the Lord our God be upon us,
and prosper for us the work of our hands—
O prosper the work of our hands!
Mark 8:1-10
