if you were to pray,
what would you
pray for?
believer or non-believer––
what would you
pray for?
bring your knees
to the ground
close your eyes
& touch your hands
together
be silent in silence
& a prayer will come
no need for words––
your heartbeat is
a prayer
& the signals pulsing
through the darkness
of your brain
& your breath
breaching the sky &
flying with the wind
discover the stillness
at the center of your self
as you walk down
a busy street––
as you drive a car
in streaming traffic––
as a train or plane propels
you at great speed
through the emptiness
you are the still center
of a universe
in motion within
the vastness of a universe
wherever you are
is where you belong
& you are praying
what happens if you
fling open
the boundaries of
your universe?
oneness flows into
your heart
follow your breath
your life is a prayer
at the center of stillness
lovingly embraced
by all that is
