Humility Jessica Powers
Humility is to be still under the weathers of God's will It is to have no hurt surprise when morning's ruddy promise dies, when wind and drought destroy, or sweet spring rains apostatize in sleet, or when the mind and month remark a superfluity of dark. It is to have no troubled care for human weathers anywhere. And yet it is to take the good with the warm hands of gratitude. Humility is to have place deep in the secret of God's face where one can know, past all surmise, that God's great will alone is wise, where one is loved, where one can trust a strength not circumscribed by dust. It is to have a place to hide when all is hurricane outside. Source: Selected Poetry of Jessica Powers edited by Regina Siegfried and Robert Morneau Add your thoughts at inward/outward
