Raising the Bar

Prayers - Spirituality Prayer

By Ruth Williams

Raising the Bar

WRaisingtheBarToday is the day of absolute abandon.
Blessings beyond belief.
New perspectives. Ancient traditions.
Friends I haven't met yet.
Listening deeply. Feeling fully.
This is the day I say yes to everything.
Life, love, risk, being in the moment.
Surround me with the sound of church bells,
voices chanting, and children playing.
Give me all that a life can contain
and joy du jour, until my jaw hurts from laughing.
Make it possible for me to do what's right
and still keep it real, and keep it light.
