A Prayer a Day

10/24/10

I pray that I am able
to effectively respond to moments
in my life when I am needed,
whether comfortable or not,

with a degree of grace and a 
modicum of even temperament.

Nature called my dog
to the outdoors today

at 6 AM and then 
again at 8 AM.
 

(It all comes down to bodily fluids in the end,I say.)

I rose willingly, though encumbered
with rattled nerves,

having gone to sleep at 2 am,  
my body was a wee bit off her game

I felt the depth of our loving partnership

and the camaraderie between me and my dog,

as I empathized with her stressful condition. 

My point this day is... that I am grateful

to be of service, when being of service.

I feel wholesome when acting in purposeful ways,

being there for another living creature.

Be it  a dog, cat, human and /or any other vital being.

May I know what to do when genuinely needed.

May I proceed selflessly in the name

of compassion, not my ego’s satisfaction.

May I never neglect myself , but rather

find the balance between the calls of life
outside of me, and the call of spirit

within the depths of my heart.

 May I live to be loving.

May I use my life force

 skillfully  for creative good purposes.

Deeply Respectful,

Rev. Mudra
