The day before I set on a trek
I walked into a church
Which harbored
Crayons, a kids corner, a ping pong table
Rather than odd or out of place,
It felt welcoming
Sat at a table
Wrote a prayer on yellow paper
« When all in green
I go walking
May I be soft
Let go of hurts
And in release
Welcome new worlds
Like ping pong in a church »
