Gretta reflects on the 23rd Psalm, the Psalm of Love, re-imagined and adapted:

With love as my guide, I shall not want.
It makes of my days a green pasture;
it leads me to ponder still waters;
it restores my soul.

Love offers me paths that bloom with its truths.
Even though I walk through the darkest valleys,
I fear no ill;
for love is with me;
its presence and strength—they comfort me.
Love lays a table before me
that I might invite and serve my enemies;
it calms the anxiety of my mind

with the sweet oil of the heart;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall flow from me

all the days of my life,
if I but build each one
with the words of love
my whole life long.

Offered as wisdom for the journey
