Neither I nor the poets I love found the keys to the kingdom of prayer and we cannot force God to stumble over us where we sit.

But I know that it’s a good idea to sit anyway.

So every morning I sit, I kneel, waiting, making friends with the habit of listening, hoping that I’m being listened to.

There, I greet God in my own disorder.

I say hello to my chaos, my unmade decisions, my unmade bed, my desire and my trouble.

I say hello to distraction and privilege, I greet the day and I greet my beloved.

I recognise and greet my burdens, my luck, my controlled and uncontrollable story.

I greet my untold stories, my unfolding story, my unloved body, my own love, my own body.

I greet the things I think will happen and I say hello to everything I do not know about the day.

I greet my own small world and I hope that I can meet the bigger world that day.

I greet my story and hope that I can forget my story during the day, and greet some surprising stories during the long day ahead.

I greet God, and I greet the God who is more God than the God I greet.

Hello to you all, I say, as the sun rises....
