Sunny Day

T0day Jo didn't wake up grumpy...there was homework issues last nite, so I expected an early morning cold shoulder. After dropping the kids off at school, Cyclone and I walked down Toronto street and actually experienced a moment of complete silence and calm. It was cool, the flora was flowering in so many yards and as we walked I sensed a sudden peace and rightness. We approached Ellice and the sounds, smells and broken concrete broke the silence and we seemed to back into the reality of the West End again. The local mosque advertised Ramadan, pawn shops and hair salons with their hand made posters in the windows...Cyclone straining after a chicken bone on the sidewalk...the stuff of reality!

The sun was in my eyes on the way home, its going to be a warm day. Steve and I are awaiting the Fathers familiar and wild Spirit to energize us today. We pray in our humanness and anticipate in the Divine. It is incredible that one day we can fly and other days sink deep.

"Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt
And make it clean, clean
Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul
And make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn"

another day...make it Yours.
