"ground of being"...

And even though the figtree does not bud 
and grapes are not appearing on the vines,
the olive crop's not there to fall and thud,
and fields lie empty, barren all the time,

and even though the flocks die in the field, 
yet I'll rejoice in not his gifts, but he
himself, the Lord. I will be joyful, yield
that crop, for God's salvation-strength's in me!


Even though the figtree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren, even though the flocks die in the field, Yet will I rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in the God of my salvation. God the Lord is my strength!!  Habakkuk 3:17-19a. (PM Version)
