Life is filled with promises,
with so many options for each of us that in the living of it
we often move and choose at random.

And then,
One day along the way of ‘life-ing’
There is an encounter,
A meeting
A chance, a choice, an opportunity for living life,
In a deeper, fuller way than ever before.

One knows when this is the moment
One recognizes that instant when another sees the dream in us and with gentle urgings
invites us to let it be, to risk all and to let it come into being.

Mindful of God’s deep longings for each one of us,
And aware that this could be the moment of encounter,
Let us draw close to our God in prayer as we begin this new encounter.
AMEN.
