This will be my last blog of 2016 so I wanted to make it a little special. I wanted to offer you a prayer to resolve the huge bumpy ride we have all just been on. We have seen devastation, indescribable acts of cruelty, lost many beloved public figures, experienced intentionally divisive attitudes. We've seen the bodies of children wash up on beaches and then watched as our news reported upon it and then switched segments to sports. You'd be a sociopath if you didn't look out into the world and not feel heartsick. It's clear, we need to reassess and atone for the atrocities we have leant our energy to. Through direct action or complete omission we have all collectively contributed to a dark year. We are all feeling a little battered and bruised. Through the lens of prayer we can atone. Through prayer and quiet contemplation we can learn to see the healers during heinous acts, not the criminals. Through prayer we can gather the strength enough to align the political with the spiritual. Through prayer we gain insight enough to recognise the human species as a human family and treat it as such. This planet is our home, we won't get another. So let's clear up the energy of 2016 so that we can walk into 2017 with a different fury. Not a vengeful one but a divine one. A fury born of passion, of the active space of love and one that demands we sew and reap compassion. We must become shepherds of grace, we have no other option.
Dear God,
Thank you for my breath, for my body and for my mind.
Thank you for the family that sit with me and my family that sits by your side.
Thank you for this morning's sun rise and tonight's sun set.
Thank you for the food in my stomach and the roof over my head.
Awaken your light inside my heart and guide me to the best of myself.
Help me to heal where healing is needed
love where people need loving,
hold, where people need holding
and make my joy as strong as the force that turns the earth.
Help me build a better home knowing the earth as my home.
Help me to build a stronger family knowing every person as my family.
Help me to work within myself and those around me the idea that love is not just present but growing,
not just growing but vital,
not just vital but everywhere at all times and in all spaces.
You, who are the substance of my being and all the space in between
wake me, stir in me, let me walk in the steps you have laid out for me.
Where I error, correct me.
Where I fall, help me to rise.
Where I hurt, help me to heal.
Where I turn away, help me to face the oncoming tide.
There is much work to do so please guide me to where I will be best used.
Help me to forgive those who know not what they do,
Help me to forgive those who know exactly what they do.
Help me to forgive myself.
Hold me steady to the borders of my integrity
and make me a warden of grace.
You, who is the One and is the many,
ignite in me and let me shine.
Amen.
Blessed Be.
So it is.
Thank you,
Big Love,
