Prayer of Unfolding

Eternal Spirit, source of majesty and mystery,

I stand in awe beneath the star-studded night,

the luminous moon, the countless points of light.

 

The significance of it all…

the beauty of it all…

the wonder of it all,

and I am held in deep curiosity.

 

Through story, myth, and faith we have sought answers,

yet too often we have clutched them too tightly,

answers like anchors,

foundations for our conflicts,

a knot with neither beginning nor end.

 

Still, something new is always possible,

something unexpected waiting to emerge.

 

If love is the beginning,

love will surely show the way.

 

So let us unfold ourselves

from what we think we know,

from patterns, structures, and tidy charts.

 

Theories may drift out of sight,

but here, in this moment,

Love remains.

 

Amen
