Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Namaste Just wanted to share some prayers that i like. . . Earth mother, star mother, (Kundalini Ma) You who are called by a thousand names, May all remember we are cells in your body and dance together You are the grain and the loaf That sustains us each day, And as you are patient with our struggles to learn So shall we be patient with and each other We are radiant light and sacred dark ---the balance--- You are the embrace that heartens And the freedom beyond fear. Within you we are born we grow, live, and die— You bring us around the circle to rebirth, Within us you dance Forever. ~~~ Starhawk Page 15 (The Ecological Self) Earth Prayers From Around the World, 365 Prayers, Poems, and Invocations For Honoring the Earth. Roberts and Amidon, Harper Collins 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. ~~~ Anne Hillman My simple prayer is that in all things I learn to love well. That I learn to touch the ever-changing seasons of life with a great heart of compassion. That I live with the peace and justice I wish for the earth. That I learn to care fully and let go gracefully. That I enjoy the abundance of the earth and return to it from the natural generosity that is our human birthright. That through my own life, through joy and sorrow in thought, word and deed, I bring benefit and blessings to all that lives. That my heart and the hearts of all beings learn to be free. ~~~ Jack Kornfield Buddhist meditation teacher, Spirit Rock Center, CA Page 59, (Opening Our Hearts), Prayers for a Thousand Years, Roberts and Amidon, Harper San Francisco Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us… Playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel secure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~~~ Marianne Williamson WomanPrayers: Prayers by Women from Throughout History and Around the world. Page 11-12, (Finding Myself), Mary Ford-Grabowsky, Harper San Francisco We join with the Earth and with each other, to bring new life to the land, to recreate the human community, to provide justice and peace, to remember our children, to remember who we are… We join together as many and diverse expressions of one loving mystery, for the healing of the Earth and the renewal of all Life. ~~~ Pat Cane Page 12 (Affirmations and Invocations) Life Prayers From Around the World, 365 Prayers, Blessings and Affirmations to Celebrate the Human Journey. Roberts and Amidon, Harper Collins love and honor ordinary sparrow Deb this is hard stretched to be anywhere near K related but thoughtit might be under Laugh Yoga. . .i watched it and thought how could anyone see this and not love the human family? http://eternalmoonwalk.com/ <http://eternalmoonwalk.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
