Let the heavens be glad,
and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the LORD, for he comes…
Psalm 96:11-113a
Frosted windows and
silk flowers.
The Word become earth
but we worship in such
un-earth-y places
with hands washed clean of it.
Do the heavens rejoice behind frosted windows?
If the earth were glad would we know it?
Do silk flowers sing for joy at the coming of the Lord?
