"The things I thought were so important -- because of the effort I put into them -- have turned out to be of small value. And the things I never thought about, the things I was never able to either to measure or to expect, were the things that mattered."  Thomas Merton


pray for me that I may recognize what matters and cherish it.
Let me go to the wheel of life and ride along cherishing the small, the unnoticed, the ordinary moment.
As I did sometimes with you, although sometimes I faltered, I fell, I ignored.
I pray for you, with all my heart.
I pray for you to hear my prayers and keep them close to your vast soul.

Amen.
