A Prayer a Day
11/20/11
There are so many ways to get back home inside the imagination.
Though we can never recreate the past,we can visit it in memory.
So many places, so very many faces, so many traces of love and deep feelings can and do surface time and again in all of us.
The first car , the first kiss, the first heartbreak.
Memory is an amazing thing embracing a long ago special moment.
But not so when what we would rather not see again comes slipping into our minds eye unwanted and disruptive to us.
But perhaps taking another look and see brings with it an instructive tool.
I pray today that we are willing to make necessary corrections, to realize skillfully how to negotiate with our weakest links.
I pray we exercise extended compassion in all our earthly dealings.
May we know to simplify and to see the truth in ourselves and handle with grace what is placed before us now.
May we not run from the tasks at hand and may we never be afraid to ask each other for assistance when challenges are too much to deal with alone.

Free us each of excessive pride and ego.
And let the monster of mean spirited-ness be tamed and transformed into a natural kindness beating gently in the heart of humanity.
