Holy Sitting . . .

 

Just in the act

of sitting

receptive and still –

just in the desiring

to pray –

is the moment

of grace.

                                                                                     

Just in the small attention

given to letting go

is the dying itself.                                                              

 

For God delights

in my desiring

and is content

with my restlessness.

 

God sits

with my nothing,                                    

gently loving me

in it all.
