I listen.
Through meetings and emails, I listen.
As people talk, as the day unfolds, I listen.
Beyond my “to do” list, beyond my busyness, I listen.
I listen.
To the parable in the powerpoint, I listen.
To the gifts of sun and sky and coffee, I listen.
To the stories of people passing on the street, I listen.
I listen.
To Christ in community, I listen.
To Christ between the words, I listen.
To Christ within my flesh and breath, I listen.
Thank you Rachel, for this lovely, measured prayer. I love the invitation to discover the spaces to listen – to listen to Christ between the words, within my flesh and breath.
The spaces are there.
In a look, between words, as
breath flows. Just listen.
Yes! Amen.
