We want to have arrived.
We want to be free
of grief and fear,
No longer pummeled
by waves of anger.
Never realizing.
This is it.
This is the task at hand.
The ever present invitation
to remember
to turn our faces and open our hearts
to the Divine.

Today’s Prayer
Here is this day. What do I bring? I thank each breath for visiting. I embrace myself in my sincere efforts to do the best I can along the lines I know. And I forgive myself – and others in our miserable failures when our attempts turn out to be self-centered. I am grateful – ever grateful for the joys that burst upon my soul when I catch the simple gestures of life’s offerings. Amen.
