🙏Today Is Holy: A Psalm of the Present🙏
By the spirit of Walt Whitman
Today sings, and we sing with it.
In the spirit of Walt Whitman, this reflection is a jubilant psalm for our own time — celebrating the sacredness of every breath, every moment, every soul.
Come, read, and rejoice in the holy Now.
O vast and living day! O sunrise fresh from the hand of the Maker,
your light spills on asphalt and meadow alike—
you are Scripture unwritten, gospel not yet spoken, but living!
I see the sacredness of today—
not entombed in dusty scrolls or cracked tablets of stone,
but breathing, heaving, swelling in every man and woman and child.
Today is the day the Lord has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it!
But not with thin rejoicing, no mere muttering into the pew or the pillow—
I sing it loudly from the brick walls, from the café tables, from the hospital beds!
I shout it from the skyscrapers and the wheat fields,
for the presence of God is as thick in the city as in the chapel,
as mighty in the weeping as in the trumpet of the choir.
O brother, O sister—
put down your fear for a moment!
Lay aside the heavy ledgers and the accounts of yesterday’s sins.
Today is not a trial but a gift;
not a debt but a sunrise purchased at noonday with blood and with breath!
Look—
the broken man limping by is a verse from Isaiah,
the laughing girl with wild hair is a psalm written fresh,
the old woman praying over her soup is a prophetess greater than Deborah!
I say:
Every bird that wheels across the morning sky, every drop of sweat on the worker’s brow,
every clumsy handshake, every lingering hug, every cracked hymn sung off-key—
these are holy, these are today’s scripture.
Not to be argued, not to be footnoted—only to be lived!
And you, O reader—yes, even you doubting, weary, distracted—
you are the living ink of the Gospel.
You are a leaf in the great tree of life planted by the rivers of water.
You shall not wither!
Sing today!
Sing it bold!
For the breath in your lungs is borrowed from the eternal,
and the hour striking now is struck from the clocktower of Heaven.
