Birds Finding Home

 

Look what hatched!!! See video below.... 




This made this prayer have more meaning when I read it this morning: 

A Remembering Prayer 

God of day and night, 
In the great poem of creation
we read that we 
were considered very good, 
and that you
find glory
in us. 

We look around our city: 
the birds finding home
the name of it 
the shape of it
the bustle and magnificence of it

the poverty of it
the complicity of it
the repressed stories of it

the generosity of it
the corners of kindness s
on every corner

the future of it
the past it hides from
greed and goodness
violence and visions
burdens and bodies
everywhere. 

We pray for our city
and for the cities we are. 

Breath in us
just like you always do
and renew us
with every twilight
with every morning
with every encounter
with every opportunity. 

Padraig O'Tuama, Being Here, Prayers for Curiosity, Justice, and Love
