A simple prayer

         
         

Holy One,
you who breathe in me,
may I be simple this day,
as the world juggles
its complications around me:
not straining to match its frenzy
or catch its anxiety,
but simply being present in you,
listening for your Word,
enjoying your presence,
beholding,
being—
a stone in a river,
a word in a poem,
a child in it's mother's arms.

Even in my most earnest activities today,
may I simply Be, in you.

Amen.
