Welcome.
This day begins to touch you as you begin to touch this day.
Let the day reach out to you.
Even with all the specifics unknown,
There is a willingness to begin the day.
Join the day already in progress.
Underneath everything there is silence.
Sitting here in meditation,
I can be as still as a mountain lake.
All the streams of my life for these moments flow down the mountain slopes and come to rest,
Smooth and silent.
Except for brief moments when we defy gravity,
We are always touching something of the earth.
Bring awareness to what your body is touching.
Feel the contact,
All of which leads back and down to the earth and to other people.
Touch the earth.
Touch other people.
We use the phrase,
I am touched.
What emotion is touching you right now?
Allow yourself to be touched and affected by emotions and continue the movement of feeling through you to expression.
In these beginning moments,
Drop down to find your essence.
Take this time to consider who you are.
Make contact with yourself.
Renew the acquaintance.
Join and rejoin when you find yourself.
May you touch the world today.
May you let the world touch you.
Be like a bold explorer of space and make first contact with a new world today.
Your gift today is touch.
