FACING PROMISE

Today holds out promise.  Promise to grow and open myself up to new experiences.  Opportunities to show courage, resilience and compassion, as I take risks and meet responsibilities.  Chances to offer forgiveness, connect and resolve differences, as I interact with those met on my path.  Moments of clarity and confusion, as I attempt to make sense of the mosaic of choices I face.  Times of feeling satisfied, joyful and happy, as well as, sad, afraid, and hurt during the encounter of this day’s challenges.

I breathe, center myself, and open my heart and mind to the presence of now, holding it gently and tenderly.  Welcome, welcome, welcome…
