I will lift up my eyes to the hills-
from whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord
Who made heaven and earth.
(Psalm 121:1, 2)

Prayer

Once before the day begins and
once at the closing of the day,
she kneels down on the ground uneven
to gather in her arms the sky and the earth
and in a language foreign to me
mumbles a word or two; making a sign of the Cross.
And we passed the night unharmed.
Then did I realize, to her God she had been.
