Looking Through a Window from a Lone Gable End.

 

We talk about windows of opportunity,

now more a cliché than genuine wisdom.

 

What about,

a window for wonder at life's mystery.

   a window towards understanding our own heart,

      a window of love's miracle, renewed every morning,

         a window for peace opening upon new possibility,

      a window filled with horizons that invite risk - and trust,

   a window before which we stand in the now of who we are,

a window inviting attentive patience, to see what is there.

 

This window, I've looked through a number of times,

   and sat on the window sill,

      thinking, feeling, resting, and waiting,

         in this place of pilgrimage,

            to return to,

               and give thanks.
