Sometimes...



Sometimes I wish to possess a calm spirit...
like the ocean waves that gently lap on the sandy shore.

Sometimes I wish my moments of peace were a little more predictable...
like the tide that rises and falls daily without fail.

Sometimes I wish I was less reactionary...
like the shoreline that excepts what ever the sea brings its way.

Sometimes I wish to be like the ocean...
though the winds may come and the sea gets rough,
deep down the waters are calm.



Lord,
Help me to less reactionary. Grant me a stillness that runs deep within my soul. When the things around me seem to close in and chaos begins to reign...may that peace...your peace... gently flow through me. Like the ebb and flow of the ocean waves against the sandy shore, may I find that sense of peace and predictability.
May I be connected to you, my source of peace, like the place where the vastness of the ocean collides with solid ground.
Amen.
