Morning Blessing Gift Of Prayer

That floppy,

Lopsided moon leaned over with its gleaming light to break up the loud clouds and whisked us more toward morning than we wanted.

I sent back a message heavenward,

A prayer to always be so.

I acknowledged something way beyond me.

I let the day come down.

And it came quietly,

As it has for the centuries.

We humans have,

In our moments of peace and longing,

Sent our wishes into the universe,

Which has patiently listened to our prayers.

Let silence reign.

The source of what radiates out is our body,

Our home,

Here.

Review and thus honor this physical temple of yours,

The marvelous complexity of flesh and bone that allows us to breathe in and out,

To give and receive.

So too do we take in and give out emotions.

As our heart and gut engage,

Feelings arise naturally,

Seeking acknowledgment and expression.

See what feelings live in you and long to come up and come out and live in the world.

As the pathway is cleaned and cleared,

Your spirit can flow toward the ocean we all share.

Practice rather than being a body with a spirit,

Being a spirit with a body.

In this way,

Know no bounds,

So that you can be everywhere and everyone.

Today may your intentions shine in every wish and act.

Your gift today is prayer.
