Some days you know exactly what you’re carrying. Other days it’s just a weight you can’t name yet.

Tell me a little about where you are right now: a word, a feeling, a sentence. I’ll set three pieces from my writing in front of you, chosen for this moment. One to help you notice what’s happening. One to help you pause with it. One to help you respond from the heart rather than from habit.

Nothing here is written for you on the spot. Every piece is something I’ve written over the years, in reflections, poems and prayers. The only new thing is the order they arrive in.

Take your time. There’s nothing to finish.

What you type is used only to find the right pieces and isn’t saved. If you’d like to read more, everything lives at spiritualbreak.com and prayersandmeditations.com.
