Today's reading for our meditation was taken from the book entitled Thirst by Mary Oliver. The poem is entitled
Praying.
"It doesn't have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch
a few words together and don't try to make them elaborate, this isn't a contest but the doorway
into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak."
