Perfect for today! Thank you David Kanigan.
Let’s walk around outside
and forget it is raining.
Let’s get soaked in all that noise.
Let’s be water all day,
and breathe like low tide when we sleep,
breathe like dew, and grateful faucets.
Let’s be the ice melting at the top of mountains—
that kind of clear.

I love the idea of a prayer for a bad day. The poetry is wonderful, so life-affirming and gentle too. Thank you Val and David.

Good also for the morning of that day, in advance . . . if you knew it was coming
Maybe good for every morning. We just never know when we’ll really, really need it. (Or do we always really need it?)
Some days are like that. They show us how very needy we are.
