In Your Mercy
'Gaia, Sophia, and all the stars and moons
Please be with us as we venture forward
Bring us wild peace as we juggle
Our worldly concerns with your divine bounty
You abundant grace and your love
Fill us with your mercy and wisdom so that we can
Learn to decrease our impulses to judge, arising
From our fear and anger toward others unlike ourselves
We know that we are mostly frightened of
Differentness and sometimes seek to destroy it
Let us become more compassionate, loving beings
Embracing those whom we know and even
Those we may not know so well
Help us have the courage and power to end
All wars and violent outbursts that reflect our
Darkest shadows and traumas
Inflicting upon others what has happened to us
Bring us beauty, rain, storms, and all the fullness of
This human life, assisting us in becoming better stewards
Of Mother Nature, our planet, our people and
All of the beings who live upon it or inside it
In your mercy'
