  • The Stream

    The Stream

    Spirit,
    A stream, a river,  a flowing body,
    That is what you are,
    And we each are droplets,
    In the course,
    Are bubbling,  babbling,  over the path forward,
    No awareness of our destination,
    Or how we’ll make it
    Through,
    But we are here,
    And flowing,
    In and of,
    Made of,
    Because of
    You
    This our path,
    Destination unknown,
    Are safe and secure by unseen borders,
    Flowing,
    Splashing,
    Going,
    Always moving forward,
    On,
    Marked by shifts,
    Waves,  torrents,
    Boulders,  rocks,
    And
    On we flow

  • Asking (a Prayer)

    Asking (a Prayer)

    I am here and humbled
    By my small body,
    By my tiny imprint on the fingerprint of the divine plan,
    I am hard of bringing myself to bent knees,
    To folded hands,
    To ask,
    For anything,
    For who am I to ask?
    Who am I to expect?

    then I am reminded,
    I am
    inherently worthy,

    Worthy
    As any other being,
    And I am part of this web,
    Interconnected by nature,
    And my part is too important,
    In ways I’ll may never know,
    May never understand

    And so,
    Humble, worthy, interconnected
    I fall to knees with fingers clasped:

    Dear spirit,  great being of existence,
    That in, of, around and composing us,
    I ask for your help,
    Influence in my favor,
    To make and show me
    the best path forth,

    I ask you to make it be,
    That which includes the greatest good
    Even that I might not understand
    Now
    The greatest good
    For me and family
    That our place in this web be filled with peace
    And the good of your divine presence,
    So humbly for this I pray.
    Amen.
