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

This May poem is particularly beautiful. I am reading it from Phoenix, AZ. early in the morning and it will go forward with me to frame my day.
