God, you do not need to hear my prayers -- they travel nowhere,
because you were with me before I even thought I needed to pray.
I climb you, I live with you, surrounded by you, always in contact with you --
utterly sweetly influenced like a baby is cared for by a Mother.
And like a child, sometime I imagine I am alone and not loved,
even when I know my Mother is just away in other rooms, loving me.
I will be like a Mother to this place you have put me into,
and love your other creatures like you love me.
