Morning Prayer January 21, 2014

Wisdom, may we live  today awake to how much we truly need one another, how another's gifts shared affect our lives in a myriad of ways, how our gifts shared may affect others we will never now. Indeed, may we be awake to the reality that holding back sharing, restraining our generosity of heart, of words and of deeds also affects others as well as ourselves, often affecting us badly, diminishing this world and what this life can be because we hold back on what is needful and good. Wisdom, may we live today awake to how much we belong already to one another, just by being born, inhabiting this planet together now,  with all the opportunities to care, to share, to cultivate together life worth seeking, hope worth imagining, peace worth celebrating. May we be awake to the reality of how much we already belong to one another and choose in the awakening greater caring and greater risking for what is greatly good for this world. Wisdom, may we live today awake to how we belong already to one another and this earth, and awake, choose to do all we can to care well for such a responsibility. Amen.
