Lent: Prayerful and Intentional



This amazing day...with leaping lizards.
This amazing day...with our one precious wild life.
This amazing day...with celebrating laughter and joy.
This amazing day...with mending some brokenness.
This amazing day...with its ordinariness.
This amazing day...with its extra-ordinariness.
This amazing day...for this breath.

For this tree waving its branches.
For this bowl of bran flakes, for this peanut butter sandwich, for this bowl of soup.
For this sky above, earth below and me in-between.
The vastness and particular moment.

For this day...to love and be loved.
To risk and fail.
To step out and succeed.
To stay put and be content.
For all that is in this one amazing moment.

As Martin Luther said, "If we could understand but one grain of wheat, we would die of wonder."
For the unknowing and known
For the mystery and certainty.
For the mess...for this amazing day.

Amen
