Today's Earth Prayer

[willowoak]

Beloved Lord, Almighty God!

Through the rays of the sun,

Through the waves of the air,

Through the All-pervading Life in space,

Purify me and revivify me, and, I pray,

Heal my body, heart and soul.  Amen.

My knee is better.  I was able to stretch and hold this morning without pain.  I’m glad, because after twisting it last week, I didn’t do my *usual* exercise, including the stretches.  And by Saturday I was having lower back pain again…it had been about three weeks or so since my back had been bothering me.  I think it’s because I’d been doing a lot of stretching, especially of my hamstrings and lower back.  I’m glad to be getting back to doing them again.  One day, and my back is feeling a tiny bit less tight.
