SPINNING

SPINNING

Out of control, whirling from a hydroplaned wet road.
Swirling through time, barely aware of our start or destination?!
Twirling through the air, attempting a flip from the high dive.
This orb, circling, around its center, around its star, within a galaxy spinning within this universe?!
My head is spinning.  Show me the Center, the Source, the End.

1O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
to still the enemy and the avenger.

3When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?

5Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
and crowned him with glory and honor.

6You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;

you have put all things under his feet,

7all sheep and oxen,

and also the beasts of the field,

8the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,

whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

9O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

(Psalm 8)
