CATCH!

Start:

I often feel as if I am falling, hurling through life at break-neck speed, trying to grasp the dizzying array of sights, sounds, smells and feelings that run through me too fast too even conceptualize.

I just want to stop, to land softly, to close my eyes and take a moment to breathe and make sense of all that is around me.  To appreciate the beauty and serenity that life can offer if one can slow down long enough to recognize and appreciate it. 

I worry though that suddenly I will hit the ground, a wall,  or in someway come to a complete halt, painfully with no safety net or cushion and I worry what that damage could do.

Dear Lord,

As life picks up speed and hurtles me through like a ping pong ball, catch me in your soft and loving embrace and cradle me when it gets to rough, help me to heal from any scratches or abrasions and continue to live and love.  Catch me Lord as I am falling fast!

Stop:
