Compassionate One,I sit with empty hands
wondering about the losses
of my life.
I sit with empty hands
pondering the pain
of many goodbyes.
I sit with empty hands
searching for decisions
about difficult choices.
I sit with empty hands
facing the limitations
of my aging.
Joyce Rupp
I sit with empty handslooking for my life
among the broken pieces.
I sit with empty hands
sifting through dreams
that have disintegrated.
I sit with empty hands
feeling the ache and sorrow
of all my losses.
I sit with empty hands
yearning for the unfolding
of my true identity.
Compassionate One,
I sit with empty hands
trusting that your presence
embraces my pain,
shelters my vulnerability,
and gives meaning
to my countless dyings.

Such heart felt words. It makes me think of my Mom and all the losses she has known.
