Preceeding this prayer/blessing, we did a ritual honoring what we were grateful for, and honoring what was balanced in our lives. A simple ritual while meditating on a bonfire (though, because this was in a santuary/church, the bonfire was a lovely YouTube video!).
Spirit of Life, Spirit of Love, Shining Nonbinary One,
Please be with us now.
Take from these good people their gratitude for accomplishments large and small,
From the ……. To the …….
Let us revel in the simplicity and marvel at the sublime.
We honor the Great Balance, knowing that we are just a part of the
Neverending web of life, that which is Creation,
the balance to which is Destruction.
May we find that nexus between for our respite.
A lament came from a dear one who said,
“I wish only to live in precedented times!”
We all can resonate with that lament,
But at this time, at this moment,
We give thanks for the ability to recognize
That we are still free to give such a lament.
That while others are silenced, we are not,
We still have agency,
We can still speak truth to power,
We can still offer voice to injustice.
As much as we are not, we are still free.
Sure, let us revel in the simplicity and marvel at the sublime,
Let us also respectfully admire the truth that is being shown
Let us embrace the reality of that truth, good and bad,
And let us find in it again the balance.
Blessed be.
