Praying
It doesn’t have to be
a few words together and
don’t try
to make them elaborate,
this isn’t
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a
silence in which
another voice may speak.
Praying
by Mary Oliver
It doesn’t have to be
the blue iris, it could
be
weeds in a vacant lot, or
a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch
a few words together and
don’t try
to make them elaborate,
this isn’t
a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a
silence in which
another voice may speak.
