Sabbath

Any day that is waking-up-slow day
when I give my attention 
to each sensation and inspiration. 

Any day when I take nothing for granted
when I make time for gratitude 
and pray thanks for graces given. 

Any day when I enjoy whatever floats 
before my eyes, receive it with fairness, 
make no judgement, just awareness. 

Any day is a sabbath when I pray, 
to leave no scar on the tissue 
of the earth or myself or anyone else.

Any day of self-care, when I eat well,
and move my body in rhythm 
and go where the spirit leads. 

Any day is a sabbath when I can stroll
in any direction, smell the sea air 
and go where the love is. 

May today be a sabbath for you.
