On rediscovering and recovering our own and other people’s qualities and possibilities in the midst of everything that happens. How what we think we've lost in life may actually be ever-present, just waiting to be rediscovered, often brought to us by the presence of others. And the possibility that every encounter with another person, even difficult ones, can remind us of qualities within ourselves we may have forgotten if we can maintain a sense of wonder and openness to the mysterious nature of things.

Here’s our source for this week:



What You Thought You Lost



What you thought you lost along the way

hangs in the air like a prayer



May you find your way home

may the doors swing open wide

            from the out and the in

              side

under a wide open sky



May you lose

            may you find,

may you know

              in the core

of your weathered soul your old

and your new sign



May every stranger on the path

become the one who

                        stopped



to hang something you thought

you lost in the air

              by a thread like an ancient

pagan prayer

            like some kind of

elder

          warm-eyed

guardian was standing there.
