A single, quiet prayer (2/4/10)

Holy Spirit,
let me remember
that a bird is not a bird,
a hand is not a hand,
a body is not a body.

Let me remember
that the sky is not the sky,
the clouds are not clouds
and rain is not rain.

All that my mind shows me
as I look upon the world
is an error and a mirage.

How can I think I know
based on what I see and experience?

To think I know
based on what I see
is to be a fool
believing a fool’s images.

Let me be wise
and trust not my sight.
Let me surrender fully
to You.

Amen.
