I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
my soul is like the weaned child that is with me.
— Psalm 131.2
Holy One,
like a mother with her newborn infant,
you do not demand anything of me,
but purely love me, for my own sake.
I am born of you; I am like you,
made of your loving kindness.
Your unseen, immutable truth
is alive in me.
No matter what happens to me
I am in your arms.
No matter what I do
you are in me.
My soul is at peace.
I can become your love in the world.
I rest in your arms.
