Soft shades of yellow, orange, and red
melt into the blue-gray sky outside my window…
…graceful kitty paws
soak into the carpet beneath my chair…
…the tiny flame of a plain white tea-light candle
glows…flows…glows…

…good morning, my great Love and Light
…how I have longed all night to wake to Your Presence
…this day, and every day, I offer to You
…what is Your Call to me today?
…where shall You take me as I wander out?
…how can I serve only You?

I listen now, for the answers
the nudges
the wisdom…

I feel now, the enlightenment
the warmth
the peace…

Is it possible to package this moment
to take along with me
into the bleak world outside?
