I pray delight never left
and when it comes back
it is accepted
I pray innocence are delight's
wings and generosity
illuminates it
May I not wait long in denial
before I make this place
snug for arrival

It Is In Giving That We Live
It is in giving that we live,
in giving we learn,
in giving we tell,
in giving we love,
in giving we receive,
in giving we know,
in giving we stay.
There is nothing else,
no lingering unhappiness,
no crushing doubt,
no harboring resentment,
no undying hatred,
no undone thing,
no broken promise,
no unfulfilled vow.

Let Me Never Forsake
Lord, give to me
the realization of
seeing things as they
are, and not how
I want them to be.
When I experience
difficulty, let me
pause & choose again,
because I know how
finite this Ego is.
Let me never forsake
such a great kindness,
from you towards all
loving & living beings!

Self Assured
Oh Lord, let me recognize my imperfections
so I may abide with them, neither rejecting such things
nor seeing them as existing.
It is through my defects that I gain insight,
it is through the confession of my inadequacies that I become
humble and receptive.
The day is good, and so is the night. Darkness
teaches me many things about the light, and a new dawn
is self-assured.

The World
The World trusts me, and loves me.
There is no other thing in the way,
how could it ever be not so?
And if the World is with me,
then I heal my own heart
& whole of the World can be healed.

A Prayer to the World
I have found enlightenment, and it is good.
I found it through
all the imperfections and sins
of the World.
Through suffering and confusion,
horror and bad
examples, I see what is love
imperishable.
For this I thank the World, I love it
and all of the things that
happen in this place daily,
a living wonder.

Not of This Place
My substance is not from this place,
therefore I cannot tire, or die. My body resides here
barely tethered to this Earth.
I will look up and see beyond all limitations,
it is the calling of my fiber. You and I see the shadow
of what is stainless & pure.
