The wonderful Carl Sagan tells us that “The cosmos is within us. We are made of star stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.” This is a prayer of thanksgiving and gratitude for use at the end of a day following the advice of Meister Eckhart "if the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is - Thank You - it will be enough" Background Music: a relaxing Christmas by Music of Wisdom Photo: Joshua Earle for Unsplash+

Dear friends,

The wonderful Carl Sagan tells us that the cosmos is within us.

We are made of star stuff.

We are a way for the universe to know itself.

Therefore,

The night prayer that follows can be said to be a prayer of thanksgiving from the universe to the source of all that is.

May this prayer inspire you to come to a place of gratitude at the end of each day.

Spirit of creation,

Whom we inadequately refer to by the name God,

As the night falls and the world goes quiet,

I come to you in gratitude and awe.

Thank you for the gift of this day and for all the blessings and challenges it brought.

I pray for peace in my heart and in the hearts of all those around me.

I ask for your protection as I rest tonight and for the comfort of your presence to surround me.

May I wake up refreshed and ready to face whatever the new day may bring.

Amen.

Meet your Teacher

It is uncharted territory, Tony. Yesterday, I couldn’t do much more than lie on the couch. But today, I came over to one of the local beaches where I’ve been with my mom and sibs countless times over the years. Knowing how much she loved the shore, I walked it for her today, making it a shared joy again. Thanks for thinking of me, Tony, and I hope you and Fran are doing well! Donna
