Just give me this: A rinsing out, a cleansing free of all my smaller
strivings so I can be the class act God intended. True to my purpose,
all my energy aligned behind my deepest intention.
And just this: A quieting down, a clearing away of internal ruckus,
so I can hear the huge stillness in my heart and feel how I pulse with
all creation, part and parcel of Your great singing ocean.
And this too: A willingness to notice and forgive the myriad times
I fall short, forgetting who I really am, what I really belong to. So
I can start over, fresh and clean like sweet sheets billowing in the
summer sun, my heart pierced with gratitude.
