Sometimes I think I need to find my way, or discover my purpose in the Great Mystery,

But that is not true.

I am to be – I am to breathe until I become breathless: just a part of nature.

I see the sleeping trees and the frozen earth, they are not here to inspire me.

They just are.

Sometimes I feel like nature and the earth are so beautiful and perfect,

and I am such a parasite.

I don’t understand the religions that say the earth was created for man.

I am so unworthy of this moment, so grateful to be broken, and to be at peace with

this moment, this place, these people.

It is my surrendering that gives rise to my soul, not my effort.

A moment of peace this morning,

A moment of acceptance and gratitude.

Thank you for the virus, thank you for the fear,

Thanks for the confusion and the darkness always near.

Thank you for this moment when I seem to fall into place-

And the ultimate reality, everything is grace.
