For Olga

[Olga Samples Davis has been guest shepherd at Reconciliation’s Adult Sunday School class this past month of April. Her powerful Yemaya joy and laughter have blessed us all.]

LOOK AT GOD
(for, and from, Olga)


O, how the sweet Lord
L ives through this sweet sister’s
G race, overflowering, over-rivering
A ll our souls,

S himmering in a pure
A fterglow of rhythms
M ade whole by the stamp
P owerfully driven home:
L oves abundant,
E asters restored,
S abbaths overflowing—

D aily, Sister calls us
A ll to Joy,
V ectors of God’s Play
I n the nooks & crannies of this blessed world, to
S izzle & samba in the Lord’s dazzling prayer.

[In grateful thanks to the Joy of Olga: 27 April 2008]

"Sizzle and samba in the Lord's dazzling prayer." A caliente conclusion after the preceding wetness of all those flowing rivers.

beautifully written, especially loved the last line: "sizzle and samba in the Lord's dazzling prayer." i would've never thought to put a sentence like this together (brilliant) and it just speaks volumes and hits it right home! loved it.

Thank you, Rebecca: I think if you had been in Olga's class, the sizzle and samba would have come quite naturally to you.
