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, one at a time, following the rhythm of Sacred Noticing:

  • Notice: a reflection to help you see what is happening in you.
  • Pause: a poem or prayer simply to stay with. Nothing to do, nothing to fix.
  • Respond: something to carry into your day, from the heart rather than from habit.

Move on to the next only when you’re ready.

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.

Or, if words won’t come, choose any that fit:

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.
