I come to consciousness in the middle of market square, unsure how I got here. I had awakened, gotten ready, left my home.
So many things on my mind, Lord, I can scarcely feel my body. Such a tragedy if the whole day passes without my noticing.
❖
Here at noon, with an unexpected crack in the wall, I feel the breeze on my skin.
Let me remain awake, Lord.
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I remain awake? Can I awaken?
