A PRAYER
Between oceans of ash and feet of Saturn,
keep us. Encourage us to seek and see the
never-altering constancy of what the world
is made of - realizing at all times your
true presence and the reality of that presence,
which is that things are never what they seem.
Show us the fine distinctions between all
causes and effects. Let us sweep the mountains
with you, as you sweep them with us.
-
Keep close by your word, which is the power
of the changing world; which can create what
it is by the essence of the words as they are
spoken. Keep your tongue in our ear, speaking
words we understand. In all your silences, yet
maintain the vigil to us. Tend to the flame of
our ages, which burns in our breasts. Watch
every world as they appear, as oceans of
thousands with creatures of mud.
-
Incline our faces towards you, imbibing in
the magic potions of days all of our drink.
Manifest oneness in all our multiples, and
keep light the sky. Treat us to drunkenness
on your highway. Call forth the idea of this
the latest year. We are all of what you form,
and share in the forming of by the power of
our thoughts - vast, strange, and awesome.
Treat us always to your wonders.
