“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.” (Henri Nouwen)

Six Words of Prayers and Silence

At BE 6, Rachel Hackenberg had us write stories, sermons, and thoughts in six words.  No more, no less.  I found this exercise to be incredibly efficient and interesting, so much so I am starting to think in blocks of six words.  

So, today, a few six  word prayers....

Absent
Present Mystery,
I need you.

What richness!
What desert!
Confused.
Help.

For street sounds
And purring...
Thanks.

Hold them.
Guide them.
Love them.
