A Psalm to Wisdom

In the pouring forth of wisdom 
   all things have their being; 
   wisdom in my shining, 
   wisdom beyond me shining. 

All things are branches 
   of the Tree of wisdom 
   wisdom in me growing, 
   wisdom beyond me growing. 

In the circle of being 
   all things share a blessing; 
   wisdom in me turning, 
   wisdom beyond me turning.

-- Chinook prayer, from Chinook Psalter II, ed. by Lee Henderson, found at Friends of Silence.
