Morning Prayer

Tami and I were struck this morning by something we don’t experience as much as we would like — silence.  “Stop”, she said, “Listen to how quiet it is...”.

This led to this prayer:

Thank you, God, for the opportunity you give me each morning — to exert myself physically, in the context of the natural world, to receive from you awareness, through my mind, of my spirit — your image in me.

There can be such a quietness, even in the noise of the natural world:
