Scripture  

Exodus 3:1–6 (NRSVUE)  

Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian;  

he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.  

There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush;  

he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed.  

Then Moses said, “I must turn aside and look at this great sight,  

and see why the bush is not burned up.”  

When the Lord saw that he had turned aside to see,  

God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!”  

And he said, “Here I am.”



Refrain  

I am learning to see.



Quote / Poem  

William Blake, from *Auguries of Innocence* (c. 1803)

“To see a World in a Grain of Sand  

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,  

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand  

And Eternity in an hour.  

A Robin Red breast in a Cage  

Puts all Heaven in a Rage.”
