Embrace the Present, ink in sketchbook 

 Day 44 (Maundy Thursday)  

Divine creation does not cease       
     until all things have found wholeness, union, and integration       
     with the common ground of all being.
As children of the Timeless One,       
     our time-bound lives will find completion       
     in the all-embracing Creator.
In the meantime, we embrace the present,      
     embodying hope, loving our enemies,       
     caring for the earth,
choosing life.  

Imagine finding wholeness with “the common ground of all being.”
What does it feel like to “embrace the present”?
When do you embody hope?
When do you love your enemies?
When do you care for the earth?
When have you chosen life?
