Deep Breath
Seventeen writers gathered for a One-Day Retreat in Upperville last Friday, enjoying the beautiful weather and each other’s company, along with insightful teaching, time alone with Jesus, and plenty of space to write and dream. One of our writers, Michele Bowden, penned this beautiful poem as a recap of our day.
Take a deep breath and ask...
What might surprise me?
What light is shining in?
What might my hands create?
What do I think I need?
Deep breath
What do you see, Lord?
What wheels need turning?
What will matter? What will not?
What do I have room for?
Deep breath
What ways are you at work?
What are you wanting me to become?
What permission do I need?
What happens if I’m scared?
Deep breath
What else?
Deep breath
He whispers, “Pay attention!”
Deep breath
Deep breath
Deep breath
