Walking in the Light

A theme of my life has always been radical honesty. Above any characteristic a person could hold, I respect people who can share their authentic self, no matter how vulnerable they must be to do so. If there is a language of the Light that is it. When we speak our truth and it is received in sacred space, a mystical circle is completed that produces a power so large it can transform energy. Lately I have been contemplating prayer, how it is done, what is said or unsaid, its function, ect. Like most of my spiritual work, I have had to translate religion and dogma into what I know to be true for myself. When I pray I have only three objectives. First to practice deep gratitude for all that I have received. Second to share my truth and let it be received from the Light that Flows Through All That Is. Third to always look for ways to remain in the Light that guides me. 

Great Spirit,

I'm only beginning to comprehend all of what you are. But this I know.

I see you every time I see the light shining through the trees.

I feel you every time a sunset takes my breath away. 

I hear you every time I open myself to the wonder of life.

I am blessed by you every time my heart fills with love. 

I doubt you only when I try to understand you in my mind. 

You belong in my heart, in the light, in the sound of children and the bud of spring.

You are the light that holds me. When I embrace you I feel peace, love and strength.

Great Spirit show me the way to serenity. Light my path with your wisdom. Free me from hate, greed, selfishness and discontent so I may offer myself to the light that flows through All That Is. I welcome your loving embrace. May your waters cleanse my soul and shine my way today and every day.

Amen
