An Uncommon Prayer
Beloved
You know we are beyond imagination
for are you not!
Right hand and left
we hold together all possibilities.
Teach us how to be human,
teach us to be humble
yet only as humble
as the brightest star.
Humble the ego,
it is a clever snake,
but still only a snake,
not holy, not real, but even ego
can be a light if it loves you.
It can shed its cleverness
like a snake its skin.
Every atom, every being
has a time of awakening,
and time is a condition,
a blindness of the mind.
in every moment
we are offered to be that Higher Self
You imagined for us.
Let us pray
in the open and undaunted
rejecting what we suppose we are,
knowing that we were, and are
Your very hands.
