PILGRIMAGE TO WISDOM



PILGRIMAGE TO WISDOM


Shake from your sandals
the last clotted dust
that clings from a long desert path.


Wring from your mantle
the chilling mist
that seeped through the cloud-filled night.


Hers is the sun
in the land beyond gold,
where love is the measure of God.


Lift up your voice
to the song in her eyes
and dance to the flute of her mirth.


Wisdom so gay
is the Child in her arms,
the wealth of her poverty.
.

Sister M Julian RSM 
In: Laube 1961
