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'
