# Living Psalm 78: 1-7_Tirabassi, for November 12, Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost

Listen to the teachings that are clear as a window.
as a precious glass of water, a teardrop.

Sign them, punch them in Braille,
dance the heart out of them,
with marimbas or ankle bells.

Let them not be easy to ignore
like parables of long ago
turned palatable, familiar, bland.

Let the gospel truth 
scriptured in headlines and updates,
be known in spite of
those in power who obscure them.

These teaching were clear to the ancestors –
the Diné, the Yoruba and Igbo,
the Sami, Māori, Druze, Rohingya.

Tell your children, and tell them
to tell all the children,
every child, everywhere

so they will not forget God's works,
so they will not forget to live
in the path of God's open-hand love.
