It has been these words that I have reflected and mediated on this morning, waking up early enough to see the sunrise and to hear the birdsong through the mist.
Take time to notice your very presence today.
Awaken to the mystery of being here, and enter the quiet immensity of your own presence.
Have joy and peace in the temple of your senses
Receive encouragement when new frontiers beckon.
Respond to the call of your gift and the courage to follow its path.
Let the flame of anger free you of all falsity.
May warmth of heart keep your presence aflame.
May anxiety never linger about you.
May your outer dignity mirror and inner dignity of soul.
Take time to celebrate the quiet miracles that seek no attention.
Be consoled in the quiet symmetry of your soul
May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder.
For Presence by John O Donohue
