There are those who draw attention to themselves
But not my gentle friend
Who quietly stirs the hearts
Of those with good will
Who prompts the shy smile
Who prompts the reticent student
To ask a question
Who helps our hearts
Blaze against injustice
Who helps us see the good
In others and ourselves
Who can use the words of a man
Full of failings
To help another
Glimpse their heart’s longings
O come Holy Spirit?
No,
Our gentle friend
Is already with us.
Am I paying attention?

Pat, yes, the Holy Spirit is within and we just need to open our minds to the message and presence. So much can take us away from that indwelling. Maree
