A Prayer of Humility*

South Rim Late Afternoon

O Lord, I do not know
how You flung the stars into space,
Or the time You took
to carve the canyon we call "Grand,"
But this I know: whether in a moment
or spanning millions or billions of years,
You designed and crafted these, and all of life, to be
to the praise of Your majesty.
Amen.


*occasioned by a rethinking of some of my previously held dogmas
