A few minutes with my eldest over a coffee shop treat
A fun date night to a friend’s wedding
Minimalizing my iPhone
Hearing Julia’s voluminous vocal cords
Witnessing Anna’s tenderness with her baby doll
The gift of friends to share the messy and real with
Re-watching Sherlock with John
A sunny, warm day amidst clouds and rain
The vulnerability and honesty of this book
Come and find the quiet center
In the crowded life we lead
Find the room for hope to enter
Find the frame where we are freed
Clear the chaos and the clutter
Clear our eyes that we can see
All the things that really matter
Be at peace and simply be.
(From “Come and Find the Quiet Center” by Shirley Erena Murray)
