i need to breath deeper

iternal friend,
grant me an ease
to breathe deeply of this moment,
this light,
this miracle of now.

beneath the din and fury
of great movements
and harsh news
and urgent crises,
make me attentive still
to good news,
to small occasions,

and the graceof what is possible
for me to be,
to do,
to give,
to receive,
that i may miss neither my neighbor's gift
nor my enemy's need.

precious Lord,
grant me
a sense of humor
that adds to perspective to compassion,
gratitude
that adds persistence to courage,
quietness of spirit
that adds irrepressibility to hope,
openness of mind
that adds surprise to joy;
that with gladness of heart
i may link arm and aim
with the One who saw signs of your kingdom
in salt and yeast,
pearls and seeds,
travelers and tax collectors,
sowers and harlots,
foreigners and fishermen,
and who opens my eyes with these signs
and my ears with the summons
to follow to something more
of justice and joy.

just a little prayer for myself and for everyone in their first day at their work in the blogger
world. my monday is just around the corner for me and my weekend went by too fast like
an indy car. i know tomorrow will be a busy day for me at my work. i'm hoping i'll make it
through monday like a smooth operator. i'm crossing my fingers and legs...eheheh. i guess it's
almost time for me to blog-off and hit the sack again for my beauty rest...eheheh...you'll all be
hearing from me again soon...not soon enough...just kidding :P'. nighty-night. Godbless and
adios :P'.
