Those close to me know the way depression can haunt and paralyze me on any given day. It's an illness I have wrestled with for more than 30 years. 

While I don't know if I will ever be fully "healed" from it in this lifetime, healing IS at work in me. When I'm able to be receptive to this healing work I experience something powerfully deep I can only describe as a pathway to wholeness. I want to live on this pathway more often.

I hope that this simple prayer song (recorded on my iPhone) can help me remember the pathway towards healing during those times that I forget.

The Rhythm, of the Moment

Today is for seeing
Today is for choosing
Choosing to see differently

Today is for walking
Today is for trusting
Walking in trust openly

Today is for learning
Today is for loving
Learning to love tenderly

The rhythm of the moment, the rhythm of the day.
Embraced by God, embraced to say...

Today is for living
Today is for giving
Living and giving differently, openly, tenderly…
Fearlessly
