Offerings

My basket filled with red white purple green beauties

Each one exquisite.. beautiful …fragrant

I stare and wonder, "where do I offer them ?!"

For their beauty is too precious not to be shared

Then I pick each one

Of love

Of commitment 

Of faith

Of praise

Of reverence

Of fear

Of trepidation

Of confusion

Of abandon

Of fearlessness

Of recognition

Of surrender

One for the heart, another for the mind, yet another for the body and many many more 

Each one breathtakingly beautiful

Completely full and perfect in all their imperfections 

And wonder a long while…

Then in an act of final abandon

I pray that each one of these pearls be strewn together into a beautiful garland 

on a string of love

making it a worthy offering!

And pray that, though I am yet unworthy

my beautiful gift be accepted 

Beauty in all its imperfections offered to the Beauty 

that is everything that I am ….

that I see… 

that just IS
