Guide Me into an Unclinched Moment

Gentle me,
Holy One,
into an unclinched moment,

a deep breath,

a letting go

of heavy expectancies,

of shriveling anxieties,

of dead certainties,

that, softened by the silence,

surrounded by the light,

and open to the mystery,

I may be found by wholeness,

upheld by the unfathomable,

entranced by the simple,

and filled with joy

that is you.

Ted Loder, Guerrillas of Grace
