The Blessing of Silence
from I Wonder...
For the mystery that enfolds us and blesses us,
For the beauty that surrounds us and nourishes us,
For the life that flows within us and among us,
For the bounty before us,
We bow.
If pressed to say a blessing
I rely on the one above,
but given a choice
I usually decline
for I know the Divine
is present in the silence.
Sharing a meal in and of itself
is a holy prayer.
Listening to life
blesses whatever is there.
