Friends. Today

There is nothing to do. 
I just need to be here. 

But this is already goodness itself, 
regardless of my tiny nature or my helplessness. 
I am still invited to be. 

Like every cricket that sings 
and every bird that calls, 
I am invited to be. 

And I need not worry or think, 
for it will add nothing to this glory. 

The only thing that this glory calls for is for me, 
to bring my being to it, 
held gently in my hands, 
and offer to participate.
