My dearest God,

How sweet is your presence.  How beautiful your voice.  How marvelous your work.  As I sat in the open doorway of my unfinished spiritual hermitage, I found you everywhere I looked.  I felt the breeze of your spirit and the quiet solitude of your dwelling place.

Every day is a new day, a day to dwell with you, a day to anticipate your hand at work and a day of lovely beauty on the spiritual path.  Started 12 or so years ago, I stand in awe of what all has happened, how much change has occurred.  The ferns and raspberry bushes literally dance upon the wind of your breath.  I watch as the river gently moves toward the ocean and then back again.  I see you, my Lord, I see you.

Blessed God,
thank you
for the path,
the river,
the plants,
the trees
and the hermitage.
I am
so blessed
to be part
of your creation.
Thank you
for allowing me
to serve
as a handmaid.

Love always, Andrea
