Peace!
Be
Still!
Pause,
if only briefly, from the world around you.
Be
Awake! You stand on holy ground.
Breathe
in. That air in your lungs?
It
is the Breath of God,
the
same God who breathed His last,
of
the same air, on the same earth,
in
the same world where you stand now.
And
God blessed the world then,
just
as He did at Creation,
just
as He does today.
And
so the air you breathe,
the
ground and all its bugs,
the
squirrels in the trees,
the
shoes on your feet,
the
wool in your sweater,
every
last hair on your head-
is
just as touched by the presence of God.
Pause,
if only briefly, from the world around you.
Peace!
Be
Still!
