Wandering Prayer to Awaken
We, the great symphony of daylight dwellers, are here to revel in the dawn.
read or listen:
Follow your breath as it carries you into awake,
your new, wandering day is here.
Blessed to arrive in darkness,
let yourself be held by the great silence
that engulfs you.
The foragers have been sleeping,
letting hunters pass them by,
waiting for their first meals,
so excited with hunger.
They rise quietly,
with the caution of those who can be eaten,
early light dusting feathers, fur and shells,
unfurling, reaching, stretching, beginning to crawl.
We, the great symphony of daylight dwellers,
are here to revel in the dawn.
We are beginning and beginning and beginning.
Follow your breath as it carries you into the rising sun,
and through your day.
Let the most worn, cracked leather parts of you
feel everything your wandering feet will take you to.
We are carried into awake by the grace of breath,
and gifted this chance
to share in lifeβs new dawn.
Once again, best yet. ππΌπ
