Wishing this moment away

February 7, 2010

Great spirit that flows through us and among us
You are the energy that binds us together
You are love

Today we come together in this sacred space
For reasons as varied as each unique snowflake
That has gently fallen and blanketed us once again in
The beauty of winter

This week we faced, what was for some,
The devastating news that the groundhog
Did, in fact, see its shadow
An omen to signify 6 more weeks of winter ahead

The autobiographical postings on facebook
Reveal the waning patience of many
For the cold and snow to give way
To sunshine and warmth

But God, what opportunities do we miss
When we focus on what we do not have?
What is it, in this moment, right here, right now,
That we sacrifice by our choice to wish it away
For another moment, for a different day?

We are here
We have come to this place
Let us be fully present
To share what this moment has to offer

Amen
