SECULAR PRAYER

Building Community Beyond Empire

Walking toward the light with our backs to the dark

We come together
that we may be of greater service
to one another and our world

We offer ourselves as instruments
opening ourselves to creative vision
and surrendering our old ideas
welcoming new and expansive thoughts

We trust we will find our way
Feeling safety in each other

We know together we can reimagine
our collective future

We forgive ourselves, each other, and misguided leaders
for mistakes and imperfections
knowing none among us is infallible and
those doing great harm in our world
need deep healing

We’ll help one another become our best selves
outgrowing feelings of low self-worth
and egos that tie us to old ways

We know in our hearts it's not too late
and that none of us is too small
or too flawed to be healed
