Beatitudes During a Demanding Time

Blessed are the times

when words feel flat and empty

meaning and depth will arise again.

 

Blessed are the moments

when we feel separated from life

wholeness will again prevail.

 

Blessed are the moments

when being quiet is tough

peace will make its way known.

 

Blessed are the times

when creating is challenging

new ideas always emerge.

 

Blessed are the times

when energy is drained

rest and restoration are gift.

 

Blessed are the moments

when loneliness seems constant

remember that we are not alone.

 

Blessed are the moments

when things begin to align

step gently into new beginnings.

 

Blessed are the times

when being awaken and truth are known

God is always here.
