Ruah Bull - Spiritual Director

I believe in the ordinary day that is here at this moment and is me. I do not see it going its own way but I never saw how it came to me. It extends beyond whatever I may think I know and all that is real to me. It is the present that bears it away where it has gone when it has gone from me. There is no place I know outside today except for the unknown all around me. The only presence that appears to stay everything that I call mine it lent to me. Even the way that I believe the day for as long as it is here and is me.

I n the morning as the storm begins to blow away the clear sky appears for a moment and it seems to me that there has been something simpler than I could ever believe simpler that I could have begun to find words for not patient not even waiting no more hidden than the air itself that became a part of me for a while with every breath and remained with me unnoticed something that was here unnamed unknown in the days and the nights not separate from them not separate from them as they came and were gone it must have been here neither early nor late then by what name can I address it now holding out my thanks
