And god said
let there be a firmament
in the middle of the waters
and let it be a ‘separator’
between waters (for the waters.)
And god made the firmament
and it made a separation
between the waters which were under the firmament
and between the waters which were from above the firmament
and it was so
and god called the firmament – heavens (sky)
and it was evening
and it was morning
second day!
O Love, O God who created me, in your love recreate me.
O Love, who redeemed me,
fill up in me whatever part of your love
has fallen into neglect within me.
O Love, O God, who first loved me,
grant that with my whole heart,
and with my whole soul,
and with my whole strength,
I may love you.
Gertrude the Great
