Psalm 91:1-2, 9-16

You who live in the shelter of meaning,

   who abide in name of Beloved,

will say, “My refuge and my trustworthy partners

   are G*D and Neighb*r.”

Because you have made this commitment

   your place of engagement with everything else,

you will be able to hold steady 

   in the face of confusion.

These relationships will guard your journey

   through every stage of life.

You will be lifted through every sorrow

   and lift in return.

You will walk trustingly amid danger and

   honor each adversity as a teacher.

Your basic partnership will grow and grow,

   inviting new friends, even current enemies.

When pain comes visiting, your friends will gather round

   and send it on its way one more time.

In this way life will be deep, whether long or short;

   health will expand throughout.
