Prayer
Never a passive affair
It’s an act that aligns intention
A deep care for balance
beginning with holy imagining
leading to our just acting
Inspired by prayer’s portending of possibility …
In the sea of information
it is easy to feel unmoored
but we are each connected
as a tapestry of stars
that beauty shines
upon the Universe’s sea
Inspired by our intimate connexion to one another …
The Spark we bear
is a holy pilgrimage
As the Universe learns
through our choices & experiences
revealing a fundamental truth
that Love persists
Inspired by the Soul’s unique & sacred journey …
There are truths that transcend
constructed aspiring laws
our awareness raise
to the common good
The Universe arcs
with an enduring energy:
Love
Inspired by an eternal invitation to attain awakening …
We’re manifestations Divine
Through our momentary embodiment
but a fraction of Universe’s
immeasurable time
the celestial & linear
sacredly dance
Inspired by the blessings of lived human experience …
In Time’s fulsome
when that to which we aspire
& that which we do
with intention align
Joy companions with us
revealing beauty in the minutiae
Inspired when our doing & believing are in harmony …
Though we begin with lament
by breathing in the World’s hurting
We must then exhale
Love incarnate through
our acts that’re justly compassionate
Inspired by being awfully made to be Love manifest …
The Mountain
immensity seemingly insurmountable
the task overly burdensome
Faith’s clarity dispels Sirens’ distraction
revealing the path ahead
Inspired by being emboldened in adversity’s wake …
Hello, friend Richard! I particularly enjoyed the first verse, on prayer.
Thanks, Steve. Prayer as active action in the world feels hopeful and necessary in these days!
My pleasure! Yes, it certainly does, Richard.
