Picture
we are so close

we are so close
fire igniting naked bones
sheer exposure of transience
as a thin veil caught by the wind
passing before the face
of the sun

the splendor of each of us
ablaze in the Eye of God

a poem and a prayer fit for the theme of integration
centering


the day crowded
full with its demands
halts

as petals of silence descend 
upon my shuttered eyes
my folded hands



+ + + +

prayer for the day


fill my eyes with invitation
open my ears to hear an unspeaking heart
allow me to bring spaciousness and grace to the room that I offer
may my sitting down give welcome to the weary
my rising up be with purpose

cause wisdom to temper all my speaking
let generosity flow through my outstretched hands
make my feet eager to approach in kindness

let me smooth the worn pathway
 and clear away the mist
to reveal the hidden flower

permit me to carry into the day
the fragrance of blessing
