Needles
Under suspended pine needles it is peaceful.
Immersed in thick humid summer air I wait.
I welcome God to speak, my heart to listen,
to connect,
to become a bit more aware again.
This unyielding force pushing us to more
is not about us at all,
rather we are the fruit, the expression,
the smallest component of the whole.
Yet we have a choice,
we have the option to resist…or not.
I choose not oh Loving God.
I choose not.
Reflection and Prayer
Ask God to bring to your memory a time of sacred love and beauty. Rest in and receive that experience again. After soaking it in for a long while, express your gratitude. Notice how this experience both grounds you in love yet at the same time propels you to love others. Specifically, how is love propelling you to act today?
