I will lift my eyes to the hills
before the light appears–
the light which rises in the east,
and radiates from Jerusalem.
I will lift my eyes,
my heart, my hopes
from the depths of my sorrow,
from pain that clouds my senses,
from feelings of isolation.
To the hills I will reach out for solace–
to upward currents of Spirit,
to the greenness of Life
I will lift my eyes to the hills
to the One
who never fails to appear.

The one who never fails to appear — Fantastic….such truth and power. I don’t know the original psalm (sorry) but i LOVE what you have written. Speaks deeply to me. This feeling and knowing and faith….thank You, dear friend. 🙂
We truly are co-travelers, aren’t we, my sweet friend I don’t know your sacred texts either, but the One Love speaks the same message to each of us in our own way. I’m so happy you and I can share such things! ?
Beautiful Joan. And yes, the hills are a great solace. Especially in sorrow and pain. It is a beautiful Psalm that has comforted may. Lovely poem, and leading us to the aduvine Light. Nthankyou.
Thank you for reading, dear Lorraine, and for walking with me along Spirit’s path!
You are welcome Joan
In 1990 I wrote a series of reflections on the Psalms – most have been published – I reflected on the Psalms through the yes of an artist. I liked your reflection very much, Joan. The Psalms are so so so wonderful to read – fresh and new with each reading of them. They are truly timeless.
I would love to read your reflections, Linda…are you able to post a link here with more information? Blessings to you, dear friend!
