Prayer for today

Let me see how simple life is.  Give me a tiny nudge that I take my hands off my eyes and instead of seeing trouble, let me see love incarnate in the humans, the trees, the sky, the sweet fragrance of fall air.

Lift from me all self-centered fears that I do not get what I think I want, that I don’t lose what I think I have, that I need so much to be in view of those I want to love me.  Remove the stiff stories in my feeble mind that sets up such rigid walkways.  Free me to be a new me.

Whisper in my ears of such dullness how to see You in All That Is.  Every single keyboard, comma, shirt, backache, and voice on the phone.  Allow to rest in the single truth that You are the only reality, dressed up in a million costumes.

Halloween is coming.  Maybe I’ll dress up as You.
