Fully Alive

open the eyes of my heart, lord

Startled

Lord, catch me off guard today. 
Surprise me with some moment of beauty or pain.
So that at least for the moment I may be startled into seeing that 
you are here in all your splendor, 
always and everywhere,
barely hidden,
beneath,
beyond,
within
this life I breathe.

Amen.

(Frederick Buechner)
