No One Knows Me

Shin-HeeChinDawnDusk_500.jpg

I look to my right hand
and find no one who knows me;
I have no place to flee to,
and no one cares for me.
I cry out to you, O LORD;
I say, "You are my refuge,
my portion in the land of the living."
(Psalm 142:4-5)

Desolate stranger
seeking solace
Surrounded by life
Alone
As a child lost in a crowd.

Seen above (and on home-page mastheads): “Dawn and Dusk” by Shin-hee Chin in the current ECVA exhibition, "Recognition & Return."

Readings are from Streams of Mercy: a meditative commentary on the Bible by Ann Kristin Haldors Fontaine (used with permission of the author).
