This week a short and simple prayer. And if you are one who is disinclined to pray to anything regardless of gender, cultural background, or inconceivability of consciousness, then to you I say, “May your actions contribute to said ‘prayer’ manifesting for the sake of yourself and those whom you value.”
A Prayer:
May I be a mirror capable of reflecting only light,
May the light that touches those around me brighten their own view,
May they see clearly the beauty of their own existence, and may they see clearly how best they can make their own life more beautiful,
And may they see of me beyond their own image ever a smile to share joy in existence with the light they bring, and the light they would desire to bring.
May the work of my hands ease the pain of any who suffer,
May the work of my hands inspire any close at hand to take hand in easing the suffering of those around them.
Amen!

Lovely. Reminds me of my favorite prayer from Catholic school (the first line of which is now tattooed on my arm) (here paraphrased for my non-theist spirituality):
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is error, truth;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console,
To be understood, as to understand,
To be loved, as to love.
For it is in self-forgetting that one finds;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
It is in dying* that we are born to eternal Life.
—The Prayer of St. Francis
(*dying need not be taken literally, but applied to the concept of “dying to one’s darker past” or “death of the ego/egotistical thinking.”)
Thanks as usual for a good meditation.
I love this light-hearted prayer!
