Now I have started reading through my collection I can't stop. Perhaps this can remind us of BB and what we do here.
Is My
Heart Big Enough
Is my
heart big enough to embrace life wholeheartedly.
Its joys,
woundings, fragility, uncertainty?
Dear
God, may it be so.
Is my
heart big enough boldly to speak and embody my truth
when from
all sides my fear assails me?
Dear
God, may it be so.
Is my
heart big enough for the desperate, despised, forgotten,
condemned,
unwanted, infected, rejected, the violated and abused:
Dear
God, may it be so.
Is my
heart big enough to keep opening out to life
when the
temptation to settle, be secure, feel safe grows evermore present?
Dear
God, may it be so.
Is my
heart big enough to sing Earth’s beauty,
to dance
childlike her dawnings, to cry out with her – a mother distressed?
Dear
God, may it be so.
Is
my heart big enough, my commitment passionate enough,
to
accompany You wherever Your love calls me?
Dear God,
may it be so.
