Prayer Offered for August 29, 2018

             As you move through this day, I invite you to relax into the words of Danna Faulds in her poem, Just for Now:

            Just for Now,
            Without asking how, let yourself sink into stillness.

            Just for now, lay down the weight
            You so patiently bear upon your shoulders.

            Just for now,
            Allow a wave of breath to enliven your experience.
            Breathe out whatever blocks you from the truth.

            Just for now,
            Be boundless, free, with awakened energy tingling in your hands and feet.

            Drink in the possibility
            Of being who and what you really are—
            So fully alive that the world looks different,
            Newly born and vibrant, just for now.—AMEN.
