Mirror Ritual
Fragile, human soul,
Prepare the glass altar
For your love,
With love,
Impeccably,
Arrange the ornate items
For this ritual,
Delicately,
Here,
In this sacred space you occupy
In flesh,
Conjure your essence forth,
To be present here to see,
To gaze upon,
To experience,
To honor,
Beauty and divinity in its true form,
Staring back at you in the mirror. -
WorshipWeb: “Dear Divine Spirit”
I received exciting news earlier this week that a piece I wrote for CPE (clinical pastoral education) was selected to be posted on the Unitarian Universalist Association’s WorshipWeb. (This site is a great resource for UUs to share their writing/music/art for worship and to just connect with what others are doing in worship.
It had to be edited a teeny bit to remove some ableist wording (glad this was brought to my attention!)
Anyway, I’m sharing the piece as a link here, enjoy!:

1s and 0s
If I could show you God,
I’d show you in 1s and 0s,
I’d evoke the divine
In binary,
I’d show you how the great machine,
That is itself a contradiction,
Is itself a part of the unknowable,
Infinite, infinity that is,
That realistically should not even be,
The holy is all that is,
In, of and composing existence,
And you are
holy,
Made of,
and in the everything
And made even more sacred
By being the only 1 of you,
Too made of 1s and 0s of the divine,
The holy, holy,
H01y
