08.09.05 Tuesdays Reflection

Today I'm sending you a poem by Mary Alban Bouchard CSJ who is in her

mid-seventies and has been in Haiti for the last 17 years.

Spirit Prayer

Spirit! Holy!

Stirring birds and buds and Buddhists,

Moving mothers, monks and Muslims,

Turning wheels and churning waters,

Shifting rocks and shaking ridges,

    Sweeping fields and forests,

    Raising bread and bodies,

    Spinning dreams and dancers,

        Whirling clouds and clowns,

        Filling sails and souls,

Sifting,

       Sounding,

            Singing,

                Sighing,

Spirit, oh!

Do what you do,

Dance where you dance,

Blow when you blow,

Move us to move,

To break from the laze of our days

At the Word we have heard,

With the Breath that will lift us from death.

If anyone feels called to write a reflection on August 30, Sept 6, Sept 13,

please do so. It is very simple - simply send it to vmm@yahoogroups.com
