A Special Prayer for the Crisis in Ukraine
Poem
Primary Wonder
Denise Levertov (1923–1997)
Days pass when I forget the mystery. Problems insoluble and problems offering their own ignored solutions jostle for my attention, they crowd its antechamber along with a host of diversions, my courtiers, wearing their colored clothes; cap and bells. And then once more the quiet mystery is present to me, the throng's clamor recedes: the mystery that there is anything, anything at all, let alone cosmos, joy, memory, everything, rather than void: and that, O Lord, Creator, Hallowed One, You still, hour by hour sustain it.
To Pray for
Peace among all nations - and an end to the devestating war between the Ukraine and Russia which continues
Those affected by the many wildfires world wide and especially the firemen and women who are fighting the flames
Our teachers up and down the country as they finish their school year
Our farmers who are busy gathering in the harvest
