At the break of a new day

At the break of a new day,

we want to make it quiet for a while in our heart.

 

I want to be aware, even if it is just for a moment,

of the great gift of life, the huge present of consciousness

I want to be aware, even if it is just for a moment,

of the great value of every day, every hour added to life,

while getting step by step closer to the finale.

I want to contemplate just for awhile 

how can I appreciate more this great gift

how can I make it count

I do not want to spoil it with anger or ego centered emotions

I do not want to spoil it with focus on things that merely distract

I want to live a life focused a bit on how can I help,

Focused a bit on how can I learn and share

focused a bit on service and growth

focused a bit on noticing the opportunities that are here every day.

 

I want to end this short contemplation about the upcoming day

with asking for strength and clarity, a small prayer

that I may manage to tune in to that enormous Creative Intelligence

in the Universe, that we call our God, that is here all the time,

for us to tune in to, to get a bit close to.
