Language is no more than the impressions

left by birds nesting in snow.  

Prayer is the path

opened by a leopard leaping through the brush. 

And grace is how the water parts

for a fish letting it break surface.

~Mark Nepo

startled into prayer- I stay….

inquiry for today~ may you too- stay….

when it sifts in slowly

I trust the mystery. I trust what comes in silence and what comes in nature where there’s no diversion. I think the lack of stimulation allows us to hear and experience a deeper river that’s constant, still, vibrant, and real. And the process of deep listening with attention and intention catalyzes and mobilizes exactly what’s needed at that time.”
