a prayer of the heart

The prayer of the heart is the source

of all good,

refreshing the soul as if it were a garden.

~St. Gregory of Sinai (d.1360), Egypt

On this rainy Spring morning, I am grateful to hear chicks chattering about sweet bugs.  I give thanks for drops of rain washing away the haze of pollen coating the earth.  I ask for patience as I travel on my journey like a child learning her way.  I thank the Creator for all that is here in this moment–the blessings, the challenges, and the grace of a new day.  Amen
