Prayer for Discernment

Breath of Being, pause with us in the space of dignity, the choice point, discerning what is skillful and what is possible and what is needful. After breathing out, may we pause in the emptiness of the breath, in possibility, in the blessing of not yet. Breathing in, may we welcome life’s sweetness, choices, and being part of this amazing whole. After breathing in, may we pause in the fullness of the breath, on the cusp of decisions put into action, of making mistakes and learning and of touching life’s happiness and contentment. Breathing out, may we flow with the choice made. And then, Breath of Being? And then may we learn, grow, nurture, flow, choose, make a life worth living together, decision by decision, holding this life and these choices and this earth and one another tenderly and compassionately. Amen.
