Two years ago, about this time, a beautiful creature took refuge on my doorstep.I have always seen living things as spiritual messengers, always longed to learn their language. I listen deeply to hear what they have to say.

This moth, a genius of disguise, came to let me know it was time to stop hiding in the woods, time to trust my heart again, time to follow the light.

And so I did. The months that followed were violent with changes, riddled with risks and surprises. And even when things settled a bit, even now, I find myself bracing for impact, for the next wave to suck me into the undercurrent, the next tornado to rock me off my foundation.

This morning, I sit quietly sipping my Sunday coffee, thinking of something else that moth left scripture for me on that front step.

Our time here is fleeting, we are only really here for this moment. Relax, unclench, open those wings. Don’t resist the wind - let it carry you.

Sunday Service is a recurring community feature and you are invited to join the party!

Regardless of faith, prayer is a beautiful thing. It can be grateful, it can be joyful, it can be a question, it can be a song. This is a place where your writing can be your prayer, an open door for higher wisdom to 'runneth over.'
