Focused moment for West Hill United, www.westhill.net, for October 9th, Thanksgiving Sunday.
Citation preview
An eternity of thanksgiving
and still the world would turn and turn into new beginnings,
new beauty, new wonder.
There can be no end to gratitude,
to hearts stilled
in amazement,
to breath stopped by wonder,
to minds sparked by possibility.
But we – whose hearts beat in staid, sedate and steady rhythm,
whose breath is measured, unengaged, u
whose minds are numbed by the length of our days –
we could starve for lack of inspiration.
May we feel the rush of time
before us
approaching with
a fierce, irreversible zeal.
May we boldly open our arms,
stand naked before
its turbulent
truth,
and know that it is all we ever have to lose.
Then, with hearts caught in wonder, grace, and gratitude,
may we dance in time’s
furious passing
and learn to love
the dance.
