Architect of icebergs, snowflakes,
crystals, rainbows, sand grains, dust motes, atoms.
Mason whose tools are glaciers, rain, rivers, ocean.
Chemist who made blood
of seawater, bone of minerals in stone, milk
of love. Whatever
You are, I know this,
Spinner, You are everywhere, in All The Ever-
Changing Above, whirling around us.
Yes, in the loose strands,
in the rough weave of the common
cloth threaded with our DNA on hubbed, spoked
Spinning Wheel that is this world, solar system, galaxy,
universe.
Help us to see ourselves in all creation,
and all creation in ourselves, ourselves in one another.
Remind those of us who like connections
made with similes, metaphors, symbols
all of us are, everything is
already connected.
Remind us as oceans go, so go we. As the air goes, so go we.
As other life forms on Earth go, so go we.
As our planet goes, so go we. Great Poet,
who inspired In The Beginning was The Word . . . ,

Sunday sermon? 😇
It is. Like it?
Any wisdom that encourages oneness and the threads of universal interconnectiveness I like 👍👏
Perfect
Better than perfect…
Perfection.
It is….
Amen.
Wow…
Great Poet and In The Beginning was The Word.
They scared us of this “Poet” when we were little!!!
But this, I love.
🙂 Glad.

Yes!
A beautiful prayer. I’m going to be printing this one out.💜
Thanks, DK.
It is Roseanne. Thank you.
(Not sure why WordPress sometimes lists me as Anonymous….😎)
I’ve seen this as a recurring problem for many. Not sure.
Roseanne; to humble us? I had to re-sub to every single one of my followed blogs this weekend….. And I don’t even have a blog!
Thank goodness for all of us. Can imagine a day without you riding along!
the strange things happening at WP….. Never to be trusted fully! (and yet, seemingly still the best, whatever that means)
Laughing. All true.
Perfection for sure … loved this … so many great words to reflect on here …
Agree Keith…
lovely!
It is!
wow .. thank you for sharing this .. good sunday morning homage …
Hi Catharine. It is. Thank you.
zero degree of separation, in this amazing domino effect of creation’s expansion…
Yes. Exactly. No separation. Beautifully stated.
thanks DK – Christie
prayer to the universe
Oh how I liked this post
This, however, is GLORIOUS! Only see it just now – today’s comment wasn’t for this one but the earpod one, obviously!
This really is a beautiful prayer to universe as Beth said!
It is Kiki! Surprised to see you behind! 🙂
blame it on WP!
I will!
Spectacular!
It is!
