I Want to Live from the Center of Things

I want to live from the center of things.

I want to be who I am, where I am, no matter the other people or things around.

I want to breath free and easy without fear and constricted stress.

I want to be paced and in rhythm with God, life, and love.

I want to enjoy the gifts of everyday as generous graces of God.

I want to face into the problems and struggles of life as grace-filled tests from God.

I want to let go of the clutter in life in order to experience simple and straight-forward living.

I want to find the ways and things of living that are life-giving and infuse my days with them.

I want to be un-self-conscious and, even more, conscious of God in the deepest places of the soul that overflow into the lives of others and the wonders of God’s creation.

I want to know what I am and what I am not about, and live accordingly.

I want to live from the center of things.
