Pocket Prayer
(composed in the footprint of the 'Our Father')
You who hold us all...
Who live in, and through, and beyond everything,
Hallowed be Thy name, beyond names.
May thy light prevail upon the Earth
And Thy love preside within our hearts ~
above all judgment...
And Thy will be done,
For the good of all.

Give us this day
Provisions of body, mind and spirit.
And lift our eyes
To the remembrance of gratitude.
Forgive us our lapses
Into selfishness or fear.
As we forgive others
Who falter from grace.

And veer us from the pull
Of descending forces
But keep us on your ascending path
For thine is the causality,
The effectuation and the destination,
Now and forever,
Amen. 
Bedtime Prayer
In gratitude,
I make an offering of this day.
The toil of it unburdened,
Its treasures turned to filigree.
To you, to you...
All things to you.
Dissolved, Absolved
By your alchemy transmuted
Into the gold of meaningfulness.

Behold my heart;
This is what it feels like to be human
In this time, in this place,
Through this being.
I dedicate all that I am,
Have been and will be,
To your greater purpose.
Make me an agent of your love!
And place your peace upon my brow
as I surrender 
To the blessing of sleep...
Ever yours,
Ever yours. 
~Amen~
 

 
Morning Prayer


 I call myself present to this day.

With each breath,
Casting off the veil of dreams.
With each breath,
Receiving the gift of morning.
And without prediction,
I hold the orb of possibility...
Grateful for this new beginning.

Lightward,
I dedicate my aim.
May the arc of my passage
Join the current of ascending forces
and be guided by Kindness,
Goodwill and compassion.

I place in my heart,
A beacon of reminder,
To walk with love
And leave a wake of peace.

I ask my higher consciousness
To stay at the helm,
And not let me overlook
The miracles - at work and at play
All around me...
Nor let me miss the opportunity
To play my part int them!
As I go forth,
an agent of reminder,
For us all to be
Who we came here to be. 
Hiking Mantra
(tuning into all the senses 
for present moment consciousness)


Feel the sun.
Feel the breeze.
See the beauty, great and small.
Hear the song that sings for thee.
Breathe it all, breathe it all.

(repeat)
