3. Standing Meditation

Kidushat Hashem
The holiness of God’s name


when i stood within the canyon
and read the rocks with the palm of my hand
when i hiked through red and orange sculptures
as the sun gathered itself and appeared as a ball of fire
when i walked around a pond and heard the cry of a loon
when i sat on a flat rock and
let the river run through my fingers
when i glimpsed wilderness
i stood in awe
