Pause for Prayer: TUESDAY 6/16

I have a friend, Lord, 

    who has an eye for beauty 

and - more than that -

    he makes time, regularly, 

        and with purpose, so it seems,

    to find himself in places

        where beauty unfolds naturally,

            quietly and casually,

        revealing what is always there

            and always partly hidden,

        what comes and goes and comes again

            for those who have the eye,

            for those who save the time,

            for those whose souls can capture

                a glimpse of the divine...

 

So, down in the Barbados now

    my friend has found a haven

where halos that won't fit in church 

    rise up with rainbow glory

encircling even brother son

    whose brilliance shines and hallows

        the horizon's simple line... 

 

Give me an eye for beauty, Lord,

    and help me find and save the time,

        those moments of serenity,

    when my soul opens wide to catch

        a glimpse of your divinity...

 

Amen.
