Holy Distraction, Batman!

I was struck with the irony of my grumpiness at having my prayer time disrupted by a gorgeous sunrise. This has happened to me on several occasions. Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor!

The entire poem is printed here, and is also in a PDF format.

             Holy Distraction, Batman!

My morning devotional reading was interrupted
     – repeatedly –
by the distraction of the sunrise.

How do I attend to my prayers,
     to the theology of the written word,
     when the pinks and blues and golds
     persistently flow into me?

Oh. Right.
