Photo Prayer
|
When we use the crosswalk, we press
the button and wait for the light.
In prayer, too, we wait for the light,
but there is no assurance of safety.
That is not what we are seeking.
We open ourselves to the Spirit,
who leads us where it will,
if we can follow the ways of love.
That does not mean we walk thru traffic,
or behave stupidly, oblivious to danger.
It means we walk humbly with our God,
to whatever cross we are asked to ascend.
Photo of two people using a crosswalk.
The shutter is open for 1/3 of a second, and the camera
and people are moving, making everything blur.
