DAY PRAYER

Do we dare to live the life of freedom, responsibility, maturity and the dialogical affirmation of mutuality?  Do we dare to be the change we desire?  Will we come together in the late twilight to be the sacred activism and the shaping of God into prayer that is an embracing compassion and our deliverance from the addictions of greed and violence, ignorance, hatred and fear?

Enter then together the pattern of biotic solidarity in the conversion of inner evolution into a spiritual and cultural revolution, of eco-sanity, participatory democracy and world peace, and worlshift toward a new and renewing commensality of generations, races, identities and species.

Through the defense of life, return to the sacredness of life.  Through acts of beauty help to return us and Earth with us, to dignity and reverence; to the gypsy sojourn of belonging, and to the holy pilgrimage of balance.

Let us arise from here, in the hour of prayer, and Earth walk together.  Let us stand, side by side, hand in hand, interfacing, in the strong Circle of Life.  Let us quest—to discover and recover—the sublimity of wonderment and the solidity of trust.

Let us be and in our being learn to let be—neither cool or coldly or lukewarm, but with a heat of passion that connects us, de profundis, into the pathos of all.
