Morning Prayer:
May my radical act of rest reboot my tired bones and a achey head. I’m home sick and recovering from grossness.
Like my Schmendrick pictured here- I am cuddling under the covers.

Morning Prayer: Dear Divine, May I abandon false notions of perfection. There is no absolute prevention of all it’s, no one perfect way. These are simply games we play at, pretending we “know.” May Love supersede All.

Hot take:
Hospitals should NOT play Billy Joel’s “Only the good die young” in their waiting rooms.

Geesh…

Morning Prayer-
Dear Divine, May I remember to pause and feel the ground under my fur. The world is messy, but I must remain rooted in what matters.

Morning Prayer-a quote:

“Every person is precious. Everybody is holy, and everybody is part of the Divine. This principle is foundational; it changes everything, and there has been a huge assault on it in our time.” —Tara Mohr

Evening Prayer:
Dear Divine, May I be a wise and gentle guide, who falls not into the ego trapping of thinking I know better. I ask for a humble mind and heart, to let others speak and to hold a loving space for growth and wisdom.

Morning Prayers: My dream is a portend of instability. I am not safe under my feet or by my hands. I supplicate The Divine in a holy Fire: Guide me to rebuild a stronger and more stable foundation, with my Love by my side.

Morning Prayer: May my heart feel the growing warmth and the increasing light in this time of the waxing sun. May I always remember my inner rhythm and your inner rhythm arise from the same golden light, not two but always One.

Morning prayers on repeat…

The watcher in the tree.
He waits at the water’s edge.

Making images of the birds in the sky…
