March 30: Place of Comfort Prayer

In an ever more dangerous time

we long for a place of safety.

In an ever colder, harsher time,

we long for a place of warmth.

In an ever more cruel and hateful time

we long for a place of compassion.

In ever more distressing time,

we long for a place of comfort.

Let us pause for a moment of quiet

to experience in this place

some of the safety, warmth, 

compassion and comfort

that we long for.

May we be the place we long for.

May we be the people we wish to be.

May we make real

the safety, warmth, compassion and comfort

the world needs now more than ever before.

Amen.

February 9: Too Much Nose Blowing

Too much nose blowing in this lovely hotel room where I wish I'd slept.
