MORNING PRAYER

In the morning, everything is new.

The day's blank slate lies before me,

ready for my writing.

May it be words of beauty I write.

May it be deeds of grace I do.

May it be thoughts of joy I think.

All the Holy Ones, Listen;

this is what I pray.

Great Spirits of the Four Realms,

JOY IS EVERYWHERE

And Joy is Everywhere;

It is in the Earth's green covering of grass;

In the blue serenity of the Sky;

In the reckless exuberance of Spring;

In the severe abstinence of gray Winter;

In the Living flesh that animates our bodily frame;

In the perfect poise of the Human figure, noble and upright;

In Living;

Calmness....feeling one with all things, a unity of each part to the whole

This is the peaceful safe place I go to get away from chaos and cluttering thoughts

I have a perfect picture in my mind of the beauty that surrounds me in this place

I am safe here and at peace absorbing the energy of life and sounds around me

I am the light dancing through the water

I am the bird singing in the tree, I am a stone in the brook

I am the water overflowing, I am anything I want to be here, I am free and I am the… Continue

My Hands

I looked at my hands today; looked at the backs where used to be tight, smooth skin browned by the sun and wind. Now I see scars of incidents and indescretions hiding amidst wrinkles and loose skin, and where there was once subtle lines of blue veins, the veins now seem to be larger making rather ugly road maps on the backs of my hands.
