Prayer
Eternal, Infinite, Fertile Emptiness
Increase my love.
Let me see the good I create and receive.
When shame seizes me,
let mercy fall on me like a thunder shower.
Let me feel all my raw fear before I reject a part
of your excellent creation in order to feel unafraid.
Teach me to love the little parts in me and in others,
hiding in their vast isolation carrying the signs:
"Can't be loved."
Teach me to pull each frightened one back
Into our wild heart of tenderness,
Eternal, Infinite, Fertile Emptiness.

Since beliefs determine behavior, we must start with how and what we think. more»»
