How attentive am I?
To the world that is around me?
Do I desire to know each person
And see where the Holy is at work in you?
It is only in listening--to both what is said
And many times to what is not said
To the perspective and glimpses I hear
That teach me to listen to my life.
For my life is not about me
But about all I encounter and experience
About each sacred moment I am giving
And how see Christ's movement in it
My eyes need to be wide open to the world
And my heart needs to hold that openness too
For I need to pay attention to the path
To the touch, the smile, the whisper I encounter
Let me "Be Still and Know that I am God"
And recognize the solace and serenity
That I am given as a gift
And find You in the solace.
