Towards the sky
Wind
waves
flax
children
birds
boats and bouncing balls.
The desert is the sound of no sound.
Wind
sand
stars
stones
cactus
grass and sheltering sky.
Here or there
it is possible to lean the heart towards
the sky and hear
what is most necessary to hear.
Anne Powell
Senses Awareness Exercise
Read the poem Towards the sky.
Read it a second time inviting all your senses to your prayer:
To see
To smell
To touch
To hear
To taste
To feel
To think
Let one of the images in the poem
lead you to an awareness of
God’s presence with you.
What action do you sense
God is calling you to?
Ask for a grateful heart to say YES!
