This is my day to practice

 

“Believing takes practice.”

― Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time: With Related Readings

spirituality

is nothing

like instance oatmeal

you cannot add a

little

of this

and a little of that

a touch of Bible

or Koran

or Tripitaka

a little prayer

a dash of meditation

perhaps some ritual

and presto

spiritual depth

spirituality is an odd thing

both a wonderful gift

which is ours for the receiving

and something we practice

we must live and breathe (especially breathe)

our spirituality

we must dive deeply into our souls

and practice the Presence

(thank you Brother Lawrence)

because spirituality is ultimately

a joining

a connection

perhaps even

a relationship

and all relationships

take time

and focus

and loving attention

so this day

is my day to practice

and so is tomorrow
