abide ..

i'm thankful
   for You
astounded
   that You would dwell in me
..

i'm not sure i have the language for that
   (if i can't verbalize it   how real is it   to me   ?)
..

who are You
   that You would do such a thing   ?

how could the
   eternal
   self-existant
   Ground of all being
      who generates everything
be summarized in my poverty
   engaged to walk in these feet
   humiliated in the condition of this mind   ?
..
why   ?
..

who am i
   and she
   and he
   and they
   and we
      that You would consider
         such an impropriety      ?

what is human
   that You look in our direction
      and care
         enough
            to do such a thing
..
and then wash my feet
