Louise's words

Somehow my self
               survived the night
and entered
               with the day
        Emily Dickinson

Today's opening prayer
Father  
      in the rising of your Son
      death gives birth to new life
The sufferings He endured
      restored hope to a fallen world
Let sin never ensnare us
      with empty promises of passing joy
But make us one with you
      always
      so that our joy may be holy
      and our love may give life


....with all your heart
with all your soul
with all your strength
with all you mind
and your neighbor as yourself
         Luke 10:27

every morning for years upon years...

this morning a 'tear'
