A Sunday Doxology
Mordecai to Esther:
Who knows but that you have come
to your royal position
for such a time as this.
Esther to Mordecai:
I will pray and I will go and if I perish,
I perish.
But you, God Most High,
chose to leave your royal position
for such a time as this — this moment
that has been this moment
over and over and over again
because you came for all times
and all moments and all peoples.
You did perish.
But neither death nor time constrains you.
So when I am prone towards despair,
I return again to remember that you
are still present
for such a time as this.
