Thoughts for an everyday

Be my escape, from the real world, from the people and the madness. Let me find some solace, my cave, solid as rock dripping with the springs of life. Be my escape from me, the monster I am, help me take my eyes off me and see through the haze. Help me to hear the songs you have written on our lives and be thankful for the music, sometimes dissonant but always resolving. Let me feel the texture of your grace, how softly it flows upon us all, and the strength of your mercy, like fine silk, wrap it around me with your love. Let me be as you are.
