To pray you open your whole self
\nto sky, to earth, to sun, to moon
\nto one whole voice that is you
\nand know there is more
\nthat you can’t see, can’t hear
\ncan’t know except in moments
\nsteadily growing; and in languages
\nthat aren’t always sound, but other circles of motion.
\nlike eagle that sunday morning
\nover salt river; circled in blue sky
\nin wind, swept our hearts clean
\nwith sacred wings.
\nwe see you, see ourselves and know
\nthat we must take the utmost care
\nand kindness in all things.
\nbreathe in, know we are made of
\nall this, and breathe, knowing
\nwe are truly blessed, because we
\nwere born, and die soon in a
\ntrue circle of motion
\nlike eagle rounding out the day
\ninside us.
\nwe pray that it will be done
\nin beauty.
\nin beauty.
