Right here, right now

Peter Ward

“There is no spot where God is not” ¹;
this was a childhood creed,
which, as I grew, continued to
fulfill my daily need.

In many ways I hear these words
that come to thought today,
and doubtless bring more substance and
discovery as I pray.

The knowledge that God always is,
and is right here, right now,
initiates my every prayer,
and makes me sure that Love abounds

and governs every thought and move,
to heal, resolve, uplift, and prove
—throughout our day, as life is wrought—
“There is no spot where God is not.”

¹ Mary J. Elmendorf, “The litany of light,” Sentinel, January 4, 1908
