The Prayer Chest – 10/19/22
Soul Matters Theme for October – Courage
LET’S VOICE THE POSSIBILITIES
…So, let’s voice the possibilities.
If you fly, you will be seen,
for your wings are powerful
and full of color. If not, you
will miss why you are here.
What does it mean to fly? Well,
that’s the question, isn’t it?
For those of us wanting to be loved,
it’s the courage to say,
I am lonely.
For those of us tumbling in our
fear, it’s the courage to accept
that nothing is certain
but still to know—
in this open wing
that is our breath—
we are safe.
—- Mark Nepo
