AWAKE

Awake,
Slow stretches - a grumbling of body and spirit
As the alarm calls me to awareness that morning has come.

Dress, prepare for the day.

Then my favorite time
Soul time - a reminder
that my best days are not started fast.
But instead at a slow meander
Taking time to breath in your energizing breath Holy Spirit.

Taking time to hear your words Christ,
spoken to me through scripture
and favorite Theologians.

Taking time to connect with you God
and sit on the deck 
cool air chilling my arms
and the birds singing my spirit awake.

I hear the geese honk overhead
and I am reminded of the
Wild, Moving Possibility of the day
as I lean into allowing the Holy Spirit to
Guide my awakening into the day.
