canticle 15

God?
who is welcome in your house;
who gets to play in your backyard?

those who listen to your lullabies of hope,
and share the deep longings of your heart;
those who do not bully others,
who care for friends,
who treat strangers as neighbors;
those who stand up to troublemakers,
and are at the side of justice seekers;
those who learn from their foolishness;
those who are generous to a fault,
and who don't turn against others
for any amount of money.

these are the rocks
in your zen garden
