homesick

Homesickness can show up in funny ways, like talking about when stuff where you are reminds you of stuff where you used to be. I don't like to admit to homesickness much, but there it is, in amongst the breakfast dishes. The challenge is in speaking with balance and grace. I made at least one such mistake today.

May I have more self-awareness, more grace, more wisdom, less self-entanglement. May I keep silent more often, that my mouth will gather fewer feet. May I have more strength of character and less strength of voice. May I grow. May I learn. May I continue to be.

blessed be and amen.
