As swimmers dare <br />to lie face to the sky <br />and water bears them, <br />as hawks rest upon air <br />and air sustains them, <br />so would I learn to attain <br />freefall, and float <br />into Creator Spirit’s deep embrace, <br />knowing no effort earns <br />that all-surrounding grace.<br /><br />Denise Levertov<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-avowal/
