We talk about windows of opportunity,
now more a cliché than genuine wisdom.
What about,
a window for wonder at life's mystery.
a window towards understanding our own heart,
a window of love's miracle, renewed every morning,
a window for peace opening upon new possibility,
a window filled with horizons that invite risk – and trust,
a window before which we stand in the now of who we are,
a window inviting attentive patience, to see what is there.
This window, I've looked through a number of times,
and sat on the window sill,
thinking, feeling, resting, and waiting,
in this place of pilgrimage,
to return to,
and give thanks.
