Worshiping Me


what is the purpose of worship?
of my worship?

Is it about me –
what I get out of it
or don’t?

Is it about recentering
the would-be
all-powerful
roaring
Notice!
Respect!
Heed!
Accommodate!
Focus!
Over-here!
Ever-shouting
me?
–about gently shepherding
that me
to the margins
the very edges of things

to the place
the space
where
the I-ness
of it all
begins to slip
and slide away
just a wee bit
into the quiet
and the sound
the darkness
and the light
the calm
and the raucous
the tender
and the violent
that
is
G-d?

What
is
worship?

Who
do
I
worship
when
it’s
all
about
me?

What
is
worship?
