open arms, mind, and heart

“It's weirdly powerful to open your arms in worship; the small physical act opens up the mind and makes vulnerable the heart.”
​– David Brooks, The Second Mountain 
Affirmative prayer: Today, I open wide to the blessedness of life and to the love of God everywhere present. I lift my eyes, hands, and heart to the beauty and wonder of the Ideal made real. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
