What kind of day will you have today?
Words to ponder in your heart. Please read these words prayerfully, slowly, and aloud to yourself.
“Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day, I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return.”
-Mary Jean Irion, Founder/Director (1987-1997) of The Writer’s Center at The Chautauqua Institution
For your time of prayer, meditation, and reflections on gratefulness for this “normal day” – allow these words and images to flow deep within you.
“The atheist staring from his attic window is often nearer to God than the believer caught up in his own false image of God. I do not accept any absolute formulas for living. No preconceived code can see ahead to everything that can happen in a man’s life. As we live, we grow and our beliefs change. They must change. So I think we should live with this constant discovery. We should be open to this adventure in heightened awareness of living. We should stake our whole existence on our willingness to explore and experience.”
-Martin Buber
Today – try and notice your eyes, your smile, your touch, and your presence.
With you in awakening to the Presence.
We are all sparks of the Divine flame
Blessed Be
Compassionate Be
Boldly Be
