I am Yours

“I am yours.

Don't give myself back to me.”

― Rumi

Lord

this day is up on me

it has been a week

it

has

been

a

week

I have listened a lot

counseled some

taught a little

I have sat through meets

and been quiet (for me)

I had moments when I felt energy and motivation

but more moments

when that sniffling sneezing, coughing, aching, stuffy-head, fever

thing

has won the day

today I drive a little

teach a little more

in short

excluding the first “bug’ of the season

its been a normal week

and what I know

what I know above all else

is that I have not done things perfectly

and I know that next week I will not do things perfectly

but

I also know there have been moments

when I have connected with people

when I have felt liked

when I have felt like I have done some good

when I have known I was appreciate

there have been moments when my smile was genuine

and moments when the smiles give to me

were genuine

in the midst of all the

rush

and all the busyness

I have known

I have known without a doubt

that is has been when I am most connected

to the Sacred One within

when I have been intimate with that one

close to that one

that life works

I am most me

When I am most your

O Lord

Remind me of that

Each day

This day
