Thought of the Week

The Entrance to the Village of Voisins, 1872 by Camille Pissarro

Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.

Camille Pissarro


Prayer

Open the Entrance

I am trying to find calm
Looking everywhere for it
My insides so disquieted

It comes to me not from within
But from without
In the cooing of a bird
I do not recognize

Not exotic – simple grey like
But the rhythm of its song soothes the tempests
coo
coo
coo

Help me hear and peer beyond myself

Take in
The Rhythm of calm
Your song of peace
