reaffirming my place in the kingdom of God
where we speak a language which involves Him in every word:
the language of God.

and so I say my psalms and the psalms tell me where I belong;
they reveal to me my brother and my brothers:
when I speak these words I do not speak alone:
even in my aloneness I am with
we speak together.

speaking together is not so much 'speech' but song.
and so I speak the song and the song reveals you
and reveals me in you . . . .
[and the words begin to spin like tops and lose their meaning]

and I played again tonight that strange lost piece I just wrote
and when I came to my psalms this morning:
' my music must not come between us' I said
