By Rev. Dr. Richard S. Gilbert, Parish Minister First Unitarian Church, Rochester, NY The formal church year will soon be over and summer has all but arrived. I can hardly wait. I have begun to anticipate the solitude of summer and am eager for the brief respite and restoration it provides. O God of Work and Leisure, Teach me to shirk upon occasion, Not only that I may work more effectively, But also that I may enjoy life more abundantly. Enable me to understand that the earth Magically continues spinning on its axis Even when I am not tending thy vineyards. Permit me to breathe more easily Knowing the destiny of the race Rests not on my shoulders alone. Deliver me from false prophets who urge me To "Repent and shirk no more." I pray for thy grace upon me, Thy faithful shirker. Amen |
