Friday Prayer, February 2, 2018
Great Love and Loving One,
I look around me…
How I crave your
true and powerful and unifying
(of the deepest kind)
love.
More than a Valentine’s Day love….
I look around….
Seeking your gritty, steady love
that humbles itself into gracious relationship.
That lays down to listen.
I look…
Remembering again and again
how you are Love itself,
moving into any dark holes of unloving –
including my own shadow side –
bringing beams of
pure, unconditional love.
A love that loved me first
and loves me still….
as I am
where I am
(even if I still act like I need to earn it
every.single.day.)
With looking eyes
and tuned ears
and a *somewhat* open heart,
I see that your Love – that you –
really are everywhere.
There are all of these amazing
people who are beacons of you,
standing united in mercy and compassion,
telling the world how connected we all are
and that you are our source.
Our Source of Love.
I’m joining in.
Amen.
Arianne, this is just beautiful. Thank you for this beginning to my day. 💛
Thank YOU, Susanne, for the ways you continue to instill beauty in my life – including through your artistry and photographs. Love and miss you so.
This and your other prayers mean so much to me, especially now as I deal with my daughter’s death. Thank you, thank you.
Nancy, it’s hard for me to put into words the grief and sadness I feel with you over precious Jennifer’s death. May this true Love be near and tangible and real in every way.
