prayers

morning prayer

May I be intimate with myself,

sensitively attuned to what is there,

carefully listening to my body.

 

May I have the courage to reveal myself,

without censoring, without shame,

just showing myself as I am.

 

May I have the curiosity and interest 

to deeply listen to others,

so I can feel as they feel

and see the world as they do.

 

Without trying to change anything,

without trying to make anything happen

or prevent anything from happening,

 

Just being with what is,

leaning into the discomfort,

as a way to deepen my self-insight 

and self-recognition. 

evening prayer

May I search for the truth

out of love for myself and for all

 

May I have the clarity and courage

to distinguish between what to keep close, 

and what to lay aside

 

May I have an open heart and mind

to accept and welcome everything as it is

inside me and in the world

 

And without assumptions or prejudice

listen to what is there

 

Without fear or preference

allow it to break through

 

So that through my body and mind

through gratitude and devotion

a life may be revealed
