i do not need to be kneeling in a
little chapel made of stone …
this is not the only nook
i can pray
it need not be in block style prayers to reach the ultimate gift of faith.
each day as I walk among the
golden wind-blown grain,
see the sunlight lit by golden flame –
i pray.
not only by moving pink lips of
my mouth or
bowing a curly mop of hair,
but by living each day
opening my eyes
and being aware
that in all there is Love!
