Four Word Prayer

Deeper, richer, stronger, sounder.
Words that are prayer for me. I need express nothing else. Further words would only distort and diminish their scope and import. Drag them from the realm of prayer and confine them to tyranny of precise meanings and proper syntax.
Left alone, they steep, infusing flavor, aroma and texture as well as content. They roll around in my mouth and quickly penetrate my being. Each encompasses more than it contains; expresses more than it says; solves more than it resolves.
Deeper, richer, stronger, sounder.

"Each . . . solves more than it resolves. Deeper, richer, stronger, sounder." That's good stuff, Karl.
