You were just hit by a vortex of uncertainty
A swirl of chaos spins across the room -
Doors open, a phone rings, a drink is spilt on the carpet:
And as suddenly is gone, leaving us breathless,
Irritated, flabbergasted.
As crazy as those times when – driving through town -
For a quarter of a mile cars career about,
Overtake, don’t signal, sound their horns -
God’s hand spinning a finger lazily
Through the liquid of our lives,
Sending mini-vortices of confusion
Across the planet’s surface,
Even through my front room.
October 2001
Life is more than we imagine
A short prayer
Dear God,
Thank you for looking after me.
Please help me to listen to you and obey you.
Amen.
A general, all-purpose prayer that covers all bases
