Weekly Inspiration (6/25/26)

Every morning as we awake, when our rumbling stomachs tell us that our body needs breakfast, we should pause and remember that our ‘rumbling’ spirits need refueling as well! Ask yourself: How is my spirit being fed right now? What am I consuming? Is it good for me? Am I spiritually undernourished?

Park bench

by Steve Garnaas-Holmes

Sit on a park bench

or a street corner

observing humans

in all their glorious

strangeness

and know you are one.

Let the sun hold you

in its loving gaze.

Marvel at the baby

in the carriage

who you used to be

something like,

and how you have become

this.

Sit there long enough,

lifted on a tide of wonder,

simplified,

to choose yourself

and recover

your own splendor.
