Prayer is listening.
Love says, “You’re not a body;
you are embodied.”

A friend posted this idea in a Facebook group: “Today, write a prayer in the form of a haiku. A haiku is a Japanese poem that has three lines, each with a set number of syllables: 5-7-5. No need to rhyme, but notice how the structure helps focus your attention and conversation with God.” (A quick “google” tells me that this idea comes from a book called Good Enough: 40ish Devotionals for an Imperfect Life by Kate Bowler and Jessica Ritchie.)
And what a great idea!
Here’s what I came up with…
Universe waking
We are part of Love’s body
embracing all Life
-Karen Molenaar Terrell
Feel the presence
of infinite Love filling
all space and time, yours
-Karen Molenaar Terrell
the world wakes to Love
all-encompassing power
hugging us with joy
-Karen Molenaar Terrell
What have you got? 😀
our spinning world cries
like a wounded animal
care for it gently
