As you hold meandering creeks and ravaging torrents, As you hold murky, still billabongs, You are the Able Holder of all our journeys. Hold us in our many dyings. You are Able Holder of all our journey-ing, the wonderful, the wearying and the wild, Enable us anew with your power, peace and presence. – By Christine Mallouhi, 2017. – From Celtic…

None Other – Christina Rossetti
None other Lamb, none other Name, None other hope in heaven or earth or sea, None other hiding place from guilt or shame, None beside Thee.
