A Poem for Our Times

I read this poem in my classes a couple of weeks ago.  It speaks to my soul and seems especially appropriate for these times. I hope it resonates with you as well.
 
Let Me Grow So Quiet
by Danna Faulds
 
Let me grow so quiet inside
that I hear the private
conversations of crows as
they fly by my window.
Let me be so open that I see
with different eyes this world
born fresh again at dawn.
I wish to take none of this for 
granted – not the miracle it is
to breathe, nor the wonder
that I can choose between
truth and a fearful view of life.
May wisdom and insight
guide me on my way today.
Amen
