Peacefully Chaotic

The Grasp Of Your Hand Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it. Let me not crave in anxious fear to be saved, but hope for the patience to win my freedom    Grant me that I may not be a coward, feeling Your mercy in my success alone; but let me find the grasp of Your hand in my failure. from the book, The Heart of God selected andedited by Herbert F. Vetter. Charles E. Tuttle I can't believe day ten of Virgin a Day with Rebecca is upon us so quickly! I have been savoring each daily post by so many astounding bloggers!

December 12th is the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Each day for the days leading up to it, I am posting a virgin a day.There are many faces to Mary and Rebecca's meme allows us to sjare so many pf them!Come see everyone's contributions here . For my post today I want to share a shadorma poem that I wrote to Mary.It was inspired by a little statuette  of the virgin that stands outside the house across the street from mine.I see it every morning and it makes my day begin with a positive attitude and renewed strength to face whatever the day brings. A shadorma by the way , is "a six line poem (sestet) of Spanish descent with no rhyme scheme.It is a syllabic poem with the following structure 3/5/3/3/7/5 ". My Shadorma: Each morning I begin my day greeting you with a prayer Your very presence gives hope Heals my tender soul~ It's Wednesday!Make it wonderful!

The Timeless Words of the Desiderata Poem: Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story.
