Peace

Where do we find peace?  This is a picture of my dog Riley as he sleeps with his head on my knitting bag.  In my imagination I am running around trying to be productive and get things done.  Perhaps getting caught up on emails, phone calls or chores around the house.

It is a Tuesday.    Where is God in my day?  God is everywhere.  How easy it is in the everyday stuff of life to forget, to feel alone.  God is everywhere, here, there, in the questions, in the answers, but most of all in those times of peace.

"May the light of your soul guide you.
May the light of your soul bless the work
you do with the secret love and warmth of your heart.
May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul.
Maya the sacredness of your work bring healing, light an renewal to those
who work with you and to those who see and receive your work.
May your work never weary you.
May it release within you wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration and excitement.
May you be present in what you do.
May you never become lost in the bland absences.
May the day never burden you.
May dawn find you awake and alert approaching your new day with dreams.
Possibilities and promises.
May evening find you gracious and fulfilled
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered and protected.
May your soul calm, console and renew you.  "

Amen  John O'Donohue
