This is how I started my day after I read the selection from Centering Prayer by Peter Trabon Haas
I didn't want to forget to write a poem, so I grabbed a line from a reading and this is what I wrote:
Though I lack wings to fly
I can walk through
this world with grace
and in peace.
Though I cannot swim deep
in the ocean,
I can bring a calm presence
to those around me.
Sometimes all it takes is
a smile.
Though it is unlikely I will
climb to the top of a mountain,
I can reach the peaks of
friendship, love, and
community
by reaching out
by being present
by including everyone.
I drank my coffee and journaled, and then I found some happy sushi to color.
Happy Tuesday, all.
