A Special Prayer for the Crisis in Ukraine
Poem
The Opening of Eyes
David Whyte
That day I saw beneath dark clouds the passing light over the water and I heard the voice of the world speak out, I knew then, as I had before life is no passing memory of what has been nor the remaining pages in a great book waiting to be read. It is the opening of eyes long closed. It is the vision of far off things seen for the silence they hold. It is the heart after years of secret conversing speaking out loud in the clear air. It is Moses in the desert fallen to his knees before the lit bush. It is the man throwing away his shoes as if to enter heaven and finding himself astonished, opened at last, fallen in love with solid ground.
To Pray for
Peace among all nations - and an end to the ongoing war between the Ukraine and Russia.
All our mothers, step-mothers, Foster and Adoptive motherss, Grandmothers and Great Grandmothers. Also to all those mothers who watch over us from afar.
Unity
Prosperity
