Of what avail

this restless, hurrying activity?

This heavy weight of earthly cares?

God’s purposes stand firm,

And you, her little one,

Need one thing alone:

Trust in her power, and will,

to meet your need.

Your burden rests safe on her,

And you, her little one,

May play securely at her side.

This is the sum and substance

of it all;

God is,

God loves you.

God bears all your care.

This reflection by Tukaram, a 17th century Hindu poet, is as (if not more) relevant  today as it was 400 years ago. Meditating with others is one way to begin to rediscover our inner peace and security. Join us Sundays in  Meditation for Mothers. More information here.
