Say no.
     Be gone.
Silence!
     to any arrogance or ignorance
          in thought that claims
     it can hide God’s healing presence.

Our wake-up prayer of 
     No!
shuts down the noise of error 
and opens our eyes to the victorious 
     Yes!
of the spiritual reality we live in—
     of God’s abundant grace, 
          uniform justice, indomitable health.

Be present 
     with God’s presence 
     and an all-absorbing spiritual peace.

Say yes.
