My dear friend Barbara Fisher gave me this prayer sometime in the mid-1990s. She had typed it on the back of letterhead from the Department of English at The City College of The City University of New York, where she taught.
I have folded it so many times, tucking it into wallets and purses, I had to reinforce it with gift-wrapping tape.
Now it has a permanent home on the side of my refrigerator.
I find it a useful prayer for the living of these days:
Days pass and the years vanish and we walk sightless
among miracles. Lord, fill our eyes with seeing and
our minds with knowing; let there be moments when the
lightning of your presence illumines the darkness in
which we walk.
I offer it in lieu of a post.
