Today's Earth Prayer

[willowoak]

And now I wish to pray and perform

a ritual of my devotion to the sun.

I will bow and sing beneath my breath,

then perform the dance of farewell

and my confidence in the sun’s return.

 

All is dance; the sun glides along the horizon;

Now the leaves sway;

Now the earth spins.

 

—   David Ignatow

 

I like this one.  It reminds me of a creation story I wrote years ago where all life was brought into being through a dance…that the Lady first began alone, and then brought forth the Lord, and THEY danced all into creation.  And we each participate in the dance, and through the dance in our own creation.
