Peace Prayers

[Guest guest]

We look with uncertainty

Beyond the old choices

Clear-cut answers

to a softer, more permeable aliveness

Which is every moment

At the brink of death;

For something new is being born in us

If we bur let it.

We stand at a new doorway,

Awaiting that which comes…

Daring to be human creatures.

Vulnerable to the beauty of existence.

Learning to love.

Living Spirits of Earth

Mother and Father of us all

You hold us in Your breath

You bathe us in Your waters

who feed us with your fruits

Guardian of where we are going

of who we are becoming

Cradle of our days

and coffin of our nights

You who carry if folded in Your arms

Sailing silently among the stars

Hear our prayers---

I was born part of this earth.

My grandmother Earth.

I was born part of this earth.

My Mother, all living beings.

I was born part of this earth.

My Grandfather, the sky.

I was born part of this earth.

My Father, all creatures of the air.

I was born part of this earth.

The eight Grandfathers.

I was born part of this earth.

The four corners of the earth.

I was born part of this earth.

The great wind giant of the North.

I was born part of this earth.

The red road of the dead.

I was born part of this earth.

The blue and black road of destruction.

I was born part of this earth.

The old ones say

the old way’s gone,

the old ones say.

Still,

I was born part of this earth.
