Prayer 370

The prayer series

Jesus,

You are everywhere,
so when I touch a leaf,
I touch your hand;
when I kiss a flower,
I kiss your cheek;
when I look at old women selling vegatable in a countryside market in the afternoon,
I look at your art work;
when I listen to life’s melody singing through the trees,
the sound of birds, motorcycles, street vendors, children…,
I listen to your voice…

You are everywhere,
what a wonderful world!

Amen.
