Day Seventeen
Focusing Thought:
In the fret, worry, and haste of everyday life, it can be hard to stop and reflect on teh foundation beneath us.  Perhaps today, during Covid, we have become even more consumed in the day to dayness of ever changing restrictions.  But today, let us remember that we are not alone - let us think of our foundation.

The Practice:
Pick up something substantial that will fit in your lap - a heavy book, a rock, a laptop computer - anything.  
Hold it for a few seconds, then let it settle onto your lap.
Feel its weight.
Rest your hands on top of it and feel its solidity.

Recall that in the heart of the Source of the universe, you are worthy of care and attention.
You are substantial to God, more than breath of wind, more than passing thought.
God is loving you, holding on to you. 

Underneath you is a holy Presence that is trustworthy and love and sure.
Rest secure in that thought for a few minutes.
Then, give thanks to God for God's Divine care of you.

Peace,
Rev. Gail
