Prayer to Gaia

My Prayer to Gaia

by Sedonia Cahill

Great Mother, I am your daughter and I call to you.

Teach me courage and kindness and how to love myself

Help my heart be pure and my vision clear

Show me how to live without bitterness and blame

Let me know nature which is always true

Fill me with your silence as I learn the art of patience

Teach me of my own power and purpose

Send me your light as you guide me into your dark cave

Hold me when I am afraid

Help me to see there is no fault in the Universe, only life dancing

Reveal to me that timeless space inside

Where the dance has no beginning and no end

Fill me with wonder as I touch once again the delicate magic that is life

In my heart there is much longing

I am ready to face whatever your Mystery may unveil
