A Bit of Bread

It is only here,
upon my knees,
that I may grow
into who I wish to be.

It is only here
that I am quiet enough
to hear beyond my own voice,
and still enough to cease tripping over myself.

It is here
I am best able
to see the Larger Reality,
which demands my attention
and the aligning of my priorities
with the Greater Heart.

It is here
I am gently reminded
to defer always to Love
and to define my wisp of a life
by peace and prayers;
a bit of bread and a sip of wine.
