Safe at home, here in the present. Yesterday was filled with trial, tomorrow promises apprehension.

They are illusions. Only today is real. It is here where I reside with you.

Let me breathe in the scent of dawn, Lord, and stride through Now.

(Letter #2,082)

My thoughts, do they conform to my words?

My words, do they match my acts?

My deeds, do they match my intents?

My intentions, do they match my thoughts?

Lord, let me be whole.

(Letter #2,081)

You are the one who hides tomorrow from me, the same one who brings today’s bright sunshine.

What you conceal is equally a gift as the heaps of treasure I see all around. Each day there is a new band in the path, past which I cannot see.

Will tomorrow bring collapse or rescue? My ignorance is your greatest grace.

I have food, water, and shelter, Lord, a repeated miracle.

Let me live this day in this day.

(Letter #2,080)

The world is not the world, let me slip free my bonds. I was the one who set my own chains. Self-regard leaves me a circle eating itself.

O Lord, let me fully awaken!

This day dawns and I am one flower among many, turning to the sun. Brothers and sisters crowd and jostle. Am I alone or are we a field?

The edges of the world glow. What is coming, Lord, what will you show me today?

Let me be a greeting.

(Letter #2,079)
