Morning Prayer 9/100. Life passages.
Life passages
Life is passage. We are constantly moving from one place to another, from one situation to another, from one joy to another. The passage may seem from one obstacle to another.
Doors and gates and even windows may be seen as obstacles when they are closed and prevent our passing from where we are to where we want to be. They may also be open and offer — even invite — our coming through.
We learn to look for open doors. We seek the opportunity to step across the threshold into something new and inviting: new learning, job change, lifestyle shift. And when the door’s not open, may have to open it on our own.
Life passages
We accept gates as more visual passages.We can usually see beyond the gate, thereby knowing what awaits and being all the more eager to achieve. And a gate can be more passable. If we cannot swing it open, we may — and sometimes d0 — climb right on over.
Windows usually let us look through, somewhat like a wish or dream. We want what is beyond the window. The window may test our agility. With no door beside the window, we may decide to open the window wide enough to let us climb through. Agility and motivation, yes.
Welcoming Spirit,
the passages you offer us throughout life
are many and exciting.
Whether they invite us or scare us, we know you are with us
as we open doors, clamber over gates, crawl through windows.
You motivate us to move from the good we know
to the better we co-create with you.
Thank you, God, for showing us that all obstacles
are not obstacles truly. All are passable.
All are opportunities through which we move
with your blessings.
And so it is. Amen.
Love and blessings,
