Daily Devotion - Words that Shimmer

In an interview with Krista Tippet entitled "Words that Shimmer" poet Elizabeth Alexander says that poetry has always existed in a communal context...poetry tells the story of who I am and who we are.
Listen to the interview at the On Being website or on Elizabeth Alexander's website.  

If poetry tells our story in community and as individuals and if poetry is "Word that Shimmer," then our stories and our lives shimmer as well.

Scripture also always exists in a communal context. Our sacred texts tells the story of who I am and who we are.  Reflect today that you were created to Shimmer.
