PRAYER:  
THE DOORWAY TO GOD




Poem for Today - February 4, 2014


PRAYING

It doesn't have to be
the blue iris, it could be
weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak.


(c) Mary Oliver
from her book, Thirst
