Presence: Arts That Inspire Reflection & PrayerSample

Come

Remain in this moment, A doorway of possibility And newness.

Inhale the delicate fragrance  Of hope carried on the breath Of invitation.

Recognize the immobilizing inertia  Of cynicism And turn toward the call.

Know the thieving presence of fear For what it is, And walk on.

Feel the irresistible urge to follow An untrodden pathway Beyond predictability.

Hear the compelling word of welcome, Generously whispered: Come.
