Presence 8: Arts That Inspire Reflection & PrayerSample

Presence 8: Arts That Inspire Reflection & Prayer

DAY 1 OF 5

Change

 

There are moments

When change arrives

Unseen,

Startling in its reach,

Unsettling

In the questioning of certainties,

Old ground, once trusted,

Shifts,

The familiar in free-fall.

 

Hold me 

Through the unsettled,

The unresolved,

The letting go of yesterday.

 

Give me courage

To be at peace 

In this not-yet place.

Allow my heart to still.

 

Let time shape my becoming

Unhindered by a need to know,

The unfolding of tomorrow

Free of the ghosts of regret.

 

Ground me in an emerging landscape 

Of discovery and renewal;

Grow me

In this fertile soil of disruption

 

Of truth waiting to be known.
