My prayer inspired by Shiloh Sophia ‘s inspiration to step out there.
Sweeping Out the Corners
I let the heaviness lift out, be gone
I pray out loud
I pray in painted dots
I sweep out the corners
And scrub the decks.
Move along, return to where you came from.
Thank you.
There are new things I need to make room for.
Yes, I know, you’ve been here a long while.
Yes, I know,you held me down, tethered me to the Earth
So I wouldn’t float away
Or
Burst into a million pieces.
You served me at the time
Now I need the space
For new energy, begone the old
Your energy has become so heavy it cannot even be called
Energy anymore, just weight. I let you go,
Heaviness, be gone, out of the corners,
Making room, making space to fan the flame
To live in paradox:
Even in troubled times my heart can hold light, feel light,
Be the light.
Love and be loved.
Yes, it is inevitable,
I will be hurt, betrayed, left alone again, the heaviness of
The world will sit on my shoulders trying to seep in through
The cracks,
But with space for my heart to breathe, it can recover, see
The colors, feel the love, hold the sacredness and beauty of
Life itself – enough to heal, enough to share, enough to
Continue on.
I clear out the heaviness and despair making room for hope
And miracles, filling the cracks with gold, making beautiful
Space.
I open the windows of my mind and my heart to let the
mysteries of the Universe in.
Fill me with those energies so that I may continue to move
Forward with the awesome responsibility of keeping this
Human alive so this soul and heart may walk this Earth.
Thank you that which I no longer need for leaving.
Thank you for the new space.
Welcome the light.
Amen
