A gentle meditation reading Psalm 107 from Nan Merrill's Psalms for Praying. Before beginning, there is time to settle and come to stillness, then, as the Psalm is read three times, plenty of opportunities to welcome the words or phrases that stand out to you to be received deeply and offer their gift. This version of the Psalms is not a direct translation but is kind, gentle, and intimate.

Hello friends and welcome to the last part of Psalm 107.

You are welcome here just as you find yourself in this moment.

There is nothing demanded,

Nothing to fix.

We are simply here together.

You are simply here in your life,

In your story,

In your being.

I invite you to become comfortable,

To see if it's possible to sink,

To soften,

To let go.

Noticing anything that wants to fall away,

Noticing anything that needs tending to,

Needs kindness and compassion.

As we arrive together into this moment,

Open to the Beloved,

Open,

Open,

Open to love and goodness.

Open to receiving the gift of these words.

I'm going to read these words three times,

And on this first reading simply let them come as a gentle rain falling over you.

The final part of Psalm 107.

Who will offer the dance of their own life as a creation of devotion and beauty?

Only those who have come through the darkness and walk now in the light can offer their lives in service to build the new world.

Where justice and freedom will truly flourish.

Awaken all of you who are yet asleep.

Let us plant seeds for the commingling of heaven and earth.

For the energy of love radiates in everything.

And receptive hearts are purified by its fire.

Blessed are the children of light,

For they know their home in the universal heart.

Let your heart be clear and simple,

And your soul filled with light.

Enter the place of gentleness,

The heart space of the Beloved,

The embodiment of love.

For we are invited to radiate the divine presence,

To be blessing to one another.

Thus do we become the very image that we reflect.

Whoever is wise,

Let them ponder these things.

Let all the people reflect on the gifts of the Beloved.

On this second reading,

Notice the words or phrases that capture your attention.

Who will offer the dance of their own life as a creation of devotion and beauty.

Only those who have come through the darkness and walk now in the light can offer their lives in service to build the new world.

Where justice and freedom will truly flourish.

Awaken all of you who are yet asleep.

Let us plant seeds for the commingling of heaven and earth.

For the energy of love radiates in everything,

And receptive hearts are purified by its fire.

Blessed are the children of light,

For they know their home in the universal heart.

Let your heart be clear and simple,

And your soul filled with light.

Enter the place of gentleness,

The heart space of the Beloved,

The embodiment of love.

For we are invited to radiate the divine presence,

To be blessing to one another.

Thus do we become the very image that we reflect.

Whoever is wise,

Let them ponder these things.

Let all the people reflect on the gifts of the Beloved.

On this final reading,

Welcome the words and phrases that captured your attention to bring the fullness of their gift.

Notice any response that you have to them,

Whether it be emotional or embodied.

Become aware of the invitation that they're offering,

The gift that they're bringing at this moment.

Who will offer the dance of their own life,

As a creation of devotion and beauty?

Only those who have come through the darkness and walk now in the light,

Can offer their lives in service to build the new world,

Where justice and freedom will truly flourish.

Awaken all of you who are yet asleep.

Let us plant seeds for the commingling of heaven and earth.

For the energy of love radiates in everything,

And receptive hearts are purified by its fire.

Blessed are the children of light,

For they know their home in the universal heart.

Let your heart be clear and simple,

And your soul filled with light.

Enter the place of gentleness,

The heart space of the Beloved,

The embodiment of love.

For we are invited to radiate the divine presence,

To be blessing to one another.

Thus do we become the very image that we reflect.

Whoever is wise,

Let them ponder these things.

Let all the people reflect on the gifts of the Beloved.

May these words continue to bring their hope and encouragement.

May they continue to bring you what you need in this moment.

Go in peace and love and tenderness.

Amen.
