Getting from here to there, Lord -
that's how I need your help today:
getting from here to there...
Here is, well, you know, Lord:
here is now,
this day, this hour, this moment;
my present circumstances,
my current problems, worries and concerns;
here is this day's burdens and fears,
this hour's anxious waiting,
this moment's aching loneliness...
And there?
You know where there is, too, Lord:
there's that place that seems so far away,
a week's, a month's, a lifetime's journey
down the road,
yet there's as near
as my accepting the reality of
here,
with all its troubles,
right where I am...
There's that time and place
not years away,
not then but here and now,
if only I'd begin to live
not in all my yesterdays
or some imagined future
but in the present moment:
where I am,
where you're with me
and where with you
I've all I need
to get from here to there
for here and there
are now in you
and in you, Lord,
is all my peace
today...
In you, Lord,
here and now,
is all my peace,
today...
Amen.

Thank you Father, forvthisbearly a.m. "NUGGET". I often get off to NOW-HERE, which, often, seems more like NO-WHERE, since, as soon as I've thought it or said it, is already behind NOW HERE. Happy Thursday :-) <3
