centering prayer

late cold wednesday afternoon
it's lunar new year
my own new year?
circle of friends
shalom
and my restless mind

stained glass is holy?
suns gone down, but sky's alight
stained glass holy?
we are holy
we sanctify this place and space
this time
where am I?

in my past
struggling with my future and
returning to
shalom

then escaping into city streets
the night air
where suddenly my heart
and then my mind
return to stillness
