| BLEST COMMUNITY Loretta F. Ross O Most Holy Trinity
Undivided Unity,
teach us the gentle deference
of your dance of surrendered love
how with infinite tenderness
and utmost esteem
you so gently
adoringly
are present
to one another. Teach us your perichoresis, your grand circle dance, where you eternally birth joy from the womb of reverence. Teach us your unending, enfolding regard for the pure holiness you hold and behold. You, sweet breath and the lungs of creation, eternally giving, empty and eternally receiving are filled. You release and bind, but never push nor pull. You hold accountable, but never blame. You incline yourselves to one another as a grove of green willows bending in the breeze bowing to each other's grace known and cherished on the broad plain of mutuality. Deepen our trust, O Blest Community, that we may enter such intimacy.
