Hymnody.org quotes Bokering as saying:
I tried to gather into a hymn of praise the many facets of life which emerge in the life of community. So there are the references to building, nature, learning, family, war, festivity. Seasons, emotions, death and resurrection, bread, wine, water, wind, sun, spirit… have made great impressions on my imagination.
These past few days as we have tried to settle ourselves into a large house I have composed new verses about washers, dryers, dishtowels, and cleaning cabinets.
