Dear God,

As I pulled into the Starbucks parking lot, I noticed something white falling from the sky.  When the wind picked up, it moved around and fell unto the car.  It was then I realized it was a tiny, white feather.  And that brought to mind a sweet memory for me.

Many years ago I participated in a spiritual workshop entitled, "A Feather on the Breath of God" at a local seminary.  Using wisdom from Teresa of Avila, we meditated, contemplated and danced to her words and music.  Born in 1515 she became a Carmelite nun, prominent Spanish mystic, religious reformer and so much more.  She brought distinction to her own life, work and faith.  Although that was 500 years ago, her Christian witness still touches willing recipients.  Today she inspired me.

Holy God,

thank you

for holy,

mystical moments

when you

bless our lives.

I am touched

you blessed mine today.

Thank you

for Teresa

and all

she continues

to do

for those willing

to receive.

Yours, Andrea
