pray ..

part of the consequence of prayer is to remind myself ..         

life does not merely consist in what i can touch 

and see and smell 

   but includes a mysterious spiriting 

      energetic consciousness 

         that either warms to unity and love 

         or agitates violently to shatter and disengage 

yes       i am human traveling
   i am being being
and there are things i require in my travels
   some of which i am unable to furnish 
      so i ask the Divine i trust 

but   and   yes 
part of the more is   
   my presence in the travel is not merely a present-ing   
      it is a heading   
         a positioning   
         a navigating to 

prayer sees through my today   
   past lunch   
   into a future inspired by the Light by whom i see life     
it reminds me of my presence to purpose 

      ' in your light we see light '   (Ps 36:9)
