the majesty of creation that we are:
microcosm of the whole of existence,
We are here to live as Prayer
Yes:
Living,
Breathing
Prayer
The time of fighting and distrust and hurt
that has been moving through us
for the last thousands of years is coming to an end
let us continue to cull from our lives that which does not serve us
all existence offers her embrace
in the coming together of WE
the sicknesses of our people are leaving as we remember
who We are
indeed, all that is hurting us now was born of the lack of love
this is a time of great healing;
the sweet wellness we know in our souls
is growing as we pray
as we open our hearts to faith
cultivate the courage to shine in our authenticity
stand steadfast in love
speak truth, act in patience and compassion
we bless ourselves, we bless all that is
and we are blessed in return
the sacred is alive everywhere
this universe exists and thrives on love
let us nourish Spirit with our praise and exaltation
in all we do, may we move towards what is beautiful
carry reverence for the Divine with every step,
feed the sacred with music and dance
lace shimmering fibers of spoken word and lyric sung
through the core of our being
let us lift our voices, make offerings of tone in humming,
give rhythm in drumming, beat feathers against air,
burn sacred smoke.
this transformation we are in
is an awakening to again acknowledge and honor beauty,
and adorn all that is with love
by doing what we love
and loving all we do
honing our skills in craft, cultivating mastery in how we live
as we offer praise for all that is holy, we are made holy
We are made whole
let us return to the source, rest in the stillness of love
to invoke ever deepening presence
this is time for us to initiate one another
may we gather in celebration
may we be steeped in glory
in the temple of the body may we walk with grace
in the naming of the Sacred,
offering eloquent language in thanks for all that is
we sing life into being
may these flowers of gratitude drop from our lips,
fertilize the barren soil of the earth,
and soak the parched desert of our souls
all of life is inviting us to remember our divinity
to awaken and partake in the abundance and communion that is ours
