Claiming the Moment

Claiming the Moments

I listen to my friends who are mobile
and able to leave their homes freely.
They complain about waiting on trains, buses and rides.
They complain about standing in line.
They complain about being stuck in traffic.
After listening to them
I think about the opportunity to relax and pray
while I wait for my paratransit to arrive.
I think about the ways spirit can bless me while I sit in line.
I think about all the moments I have to claim the blessings.
I may rarely claim an entire day to experience sabbath,
but I claim the moments.
I claim the time I am waiting on the microwave.
I claim the time I am letting my computer restart.
I claim those moments when I am
waiting,
sitting,
and doing nothing
while I wait on something.
I claim those moments as Sabbath moments
to relax,
be with the Ultimate
and be blessed.

Holy Ground

Holy Ground

“I am standing on Holy Ground
and I know that there are angels all around.”
Those lyrics remind me
that the ground I am on
is holy
the space my wheelchair sits on
is holy,
the place my body sleeps
is holy.
What happens to me may not be,
but even then, I am not always
aware of how I am being protected.
I did not die during situations
when other people did.
I have been spared a cancer diagnosis,
when my oncologist and I were fairly certain I did.
I may not always see the angels
but they are there to protect me
because they know I am
on holy ground.
Perhaps I need to remind myself
that where I am at every moment
whether I am
sitting,
standing,
or sleeping,
is holy ground.
