Two Short Prayers

star dreamerFor Now, That is Enough

Let us prepare ourselves to receive.                                                    

For now, that is enough:                                                                                        

to be quiet and open for a moment,                                                                        

to receive and sit with what is being offered to us                                                

by our minds, our friends, our world,                                                                    

the light, the divine.

Strong and Soft

Come in, spirit of strength, come in, and strengthen our bodies that we may live another day.  Come in, spirit of softness, and show us how to be both strong and soft.        

Come in, come in, and show us how to be all things, all at once, that we might become whole.                                

Strengthen our hearts and soften our faces, that we might come upon the day afresh.
