Today was a whirlwind day when my schedule got upended by taking my family member to an urgent doctor appointment.  When I finally got to contemplative prayer group and silent prayer started, this little rhyming poem ran through my head. 

Landing at the end of a tornado-like day,

Jesus, friend, has been with us all the way.

The meditation bell’s infinity calls,

And our mind expands beyond these walls.

In the chilly rarified air,

Surely divinity is found there.

It’s not my personal style to write in rhyming couplets for poetry, but this was like hearing dictation.

After that I saw Jesus in opulent robes, glowing with richness and warmth, with deep rich colors. This seemed to convey a message of gratitude for the richness of creation and knowing that we are okay, we have enough, even with challenges.
