Reset , Refresh and Start Again

 

Begin again.

At any moment you can choose to begin again. 

Maybe you had a bad day.

Things did not go as you hoped they would. 

Tomorrow you can begin again. 

Or 

Better yet. 

You can take a silent pause.

And begin again NOW.

Not tomorrow.

That is why I find Centering Prayer so attractive. 

It is like a reset button. 

At any point during the day, I can stop what I do. 

I can sit in the silence of Centering Prayer Prayer and 

Reset

Refresh 

and 

Start again.
