Thursday Pause

 


Today we push pause together.  We sit holding our lives lightly with each other.  I invite you to take a deep breath.

Breathe in God’s surprising ways of Palm Sunday parades, broken bread and juice, vulnerability on the cross and new life on Easter…breathe out scripts in our life that want us to demand and defend and double down concerned only with our own individual happiness.

Breathe in the good news of the slow ripening of our souls…breathe out the microwaving and McDonaldization of our world.

Breathe in the word, “Hosanna”…breathe out the narrative that it is all up to you.

Breathe in slowly and deeply…breathe out letting your exhale be even longer.

Breathe in trusting in God…breathe out all the voices that want to fix or save or solve your problems.

Breathe in….breathe out.

Be still in this moment and feel God’s love.  Amen.
