PRAYER

From the bottom of my heart, I pray that we be gentle in the coming year. 
May we recognize each other as equals, and delight in each others' uniqueness.
I pray that we may not get too crazy.
That we make friends with our own egos.
That we find fear interesting and not be afraid of it. 
I pray that we respect the natural wholeness of our bodies, and that we can heal the split between our busy minds and our physical self.
I pray that we can finally at long last recover from our past wounds, and let go of the fascination with our suffering, and see the light that shines in each others' eyes, and in everything.
And I pray we surrender  into the supporting presence of whatever feels to us like God.
