A Prayer For All Faiths (Radio Edit)

A prayer for all of us who walk the earth May I be humble, may I be innocent, may I be wise May I know the deep calm of the earth that glows in the eye of the fox and sings with The waterbird rising to beat jewels of light from her wings May I be still enough for natural dignity to arise within me, guiding my hand in action And my voice in speech May I carry my ancient heart lightly and with real sincerity, knowing that the life that Beats within is as old as forever, honored and perfectly wedded to the ever-arising source Of existence As I remember my heart, may I see that source within all things, in the eyes of my friends And family, in the eyes of my sacred enemy, in green feather, in white bone and in twisted Branch May my eyes be lifted to the light, my animal feet strong and bright, pacing in the freedom Of my birthright and the effortless nobility of true belonging Give me the courage to stand as if I am witness to all creation and know that all creation Is looking back at me from stone and child and from salt seashell spiral Grant me the presence to carry my heartbreak well and that the pain gives me tenderness And wisdom so that I may love more deeply and dance more freely, walking lightly across The plains and mountains and cities of this great garden earth May I recognize mercy As I walk, may I remember the eyes of old men dying and women birthing, the trust of Children sleeping and the endless faith of flowers Show me how to make every strange feeling and breakdown into a ragged sail to carry My wretched foundering ship further across the great ocean towards the safe harbor Of the one love May all beings be at peace, may you be whole in all possible ways, may you be whole
