Teach us, O Creator of the universe,

to un-hoard our lives

by letting go of the things

we think we need,

so that we can make room

in our homes and hands

to gently cup the beating heart

and fluttering wings of your promise.

Gift us with a peace that nestles us

secured but un-smothered

in a willingness to risk

our whole selves to your providence.
