May we always allow the miraculous
to enter & fill the everyday...
Friends, when we see that life is a continuous unfolding of miracles, then we can embrace such gifts as possibility, & imagination, letting go, & a playful spirit.
From this awareness, may we be able to experience deep & trusting care in each moment, regardless of circumstance... This is devotion to the wellbeing of all life.
True compassion, kindness, & service do not arise out of a sense of responsibility but more truly from a light & joyful heart.In love & peace,
namaste, Lalita
Oh, Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the winds, And whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me, I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom. Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand the things you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy - myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes. So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my Spirit may come to you without shame.
(translated by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark in 1887) published in Native American Prayers - by the Episcopal Church.
