AN OUTPOURING

Inspired by The Water Song in the allegorical novel 'Hind's feet on High Places', this week's florals capture the message that it is only up on the High Places of Love that anyone can receive power to pour themselves down in an utter abandonment of self-giving.

THE WATER SONG

Come, oh come! let us away--
Lower, lower every day,
Oh, what joy it is to race
Down to find the lowest place.
This the dearest law we know--
"It is happy to go low."
Sweetest urge and sweetest will,
"Let us go down lower still."
Hear the summons night and day
Calling us to come away.
From the heights we leap and flow
To the valleys down below
Always answering to the call,
To the lowest place of all.
Sweetest urge and sweetest pain,
To go low and rise again.
