All that we have and all that we are is the gift of God. We are stewards of this gift, and of the gift of this planet. It is good to give thanks for these gifts daily – and to pause to be mindful of how we are using them.

Gentle me, Holy One
by Ted Loder
Gentle me,
Holy One,
into an unclenched moment,
a deep breath,
a letting go
of heavy expectancies,
of shriveling anxieties,
of dead certainties,
that, softened by the silence,
surrounded by the light,
and open to the mystery.
I may be found by wholeness,
upheld by the unfathomable,
entranced by the simple,
and filled with the joy
that is You.
