My Prayer for Uncertain Times

I invite you to join me in this prayer. I use it daily. We are in a conditioned in a culture that forces us to forget. And in our forgetting, we are susceptible to be told who we are. Do not forget who you are, or they will tell you who you are.

I read this prayer and I share this prayer as an invitation for you to write yours. Yours, that is true to the soil in your bones and the waters in your blood, true to your lineage of survival and your purpose on this earth in this time. You may not know it, but you may write your own prayer. So here is mine - breathe in with ferocious love.

If all shadows seek to separate, our mission is always to repoint the compass into closeness, into unity, into solidarity, into coming together. This is the path.

Your life is a ceremony, always attend to your own ceremony. This is a year of resilience. Hold true to your roots, remember your vision. Remember your strength and your inherited wisdom.

Honouring the earth within our bones, honouring the soil underneath our feet and sky above us.

Honouring the waters in our blood and the fire in our hearts.

I am grateful for the courage to walk towards the roar. I can do hard things. I can withstand the heat.

Holding in the same vision, the transformation of my self and the transformation of the world where personal pain is collective pain and collective pain is personal pain.

I sit with hatred until I feel the fear behind it.

I sit with fear until I feel the fierce love behind it.

I sit and listen to silent whispers of gratitude from my ancestors and my future descendants.

I am the daughter of volcanoes. We are born for these times, born for this chaos and ready to ride the lava as the ground breaks underneath me.
