Lent: Prayerful and Intentional

Here might be one way to be prayerful and intentional today.

Here might be a way to wake up to the Living, Breathing, Still Creating God.

Here not with formulas or words.

Here not with practices or patterns.

But here...right where you are in this very moment.

Reading this on an elevator,

Or easy chair,

Or coffee shop,

Or wherever you are.

Look up.

Look away from the screen.

Look around.

Look away from the glow; to see the glow of the world.

The glow of the faces passing by...

The flow of the world alive with God's presence.

The blow of a breeze.

Look up.

For the center of God is everyone, and the end of God no where.

For the embrace of God is huge and felt in the smallest ways.

For the vast universe is alive with God even in our ant-like place where we are.

Look up,

Look around,

Open.

Maybe that is the first movement of prayer.
