Daily Examen, August 11, 2017

There are days
when you reach major milestones
and find
how much further you need to go
and work
later into the evening
than you want to
missing other important events.

Daily Examen, August 12, 2017

Praying.
Preparing for a memorial service.
Watching the news.
Asking the Spirit to speak
to bring God’s love
in memory of a peacemaker
to a country that sorely needs it
right now.

Daily Examen, August 13, 2017

Amidst the grief and politics
the elderly still need to be visited
and prayed with,
the homeless still need to be fed
physically and spiritually.
There is more that I would have liked to do today
then I had time for.
So I end the day
both blessed
and exhausted.
