While reading RF's Diary yesterday the following aphorism was on the bottom of the page.
Better to be present with a bad note than absent from a good one.
I came back to this many times throughout the day as a result of posting this to Facebook with the resultant likes & comments. Upon awakening and journaling this morning the aphorism visited me again. This prayer for today came forth.
May I be present with all of the "notes" that emanate from me today as I sing the song of life. May I harmonize with the notes of my colleagues, our residents, and their families, listening for the music within them that they may or may not be able to express in the moment. May I be silent until the time I am to play. May I vibrate gently, be in tune and play my day with good tone.
