Feel sometimes like a motherless child.....

Oh, my sweet Mother Earth
This weekend I felt like a Motherless child.
There were moments that I could not feel you surrounding me.
I felt lost in a rush of hurry, hurry.
I was lost in the neediness of others.
I lost sight and touch of your loving body.

Please forgive me.
Sometimes I feel like a mother less child.
Yet, in my heart I know your are there
Again, I am held. I can feel your love.
Guide me to love, compassion.

I thank you for the Great Abundance that I was able to have before me.
Share with others.
Guide me to know that by walking my path true to you, myself and I,
Then others may learn.
Teach me that I need to respect others in their right to be
In a place of fear and lack.
Forgive me, my lack of compassion.

Oh, sweet Mother Earth,
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child.
I am blessed by your wisdom and grace.
Thank you sweet Mother, for allowing me to walk upon your belly.
Thank you for the abundance of my Life.

Let me sing to you Sweet Mother Earth.
That you may hear my gratitude like the singing of the birds.
Let me dance for you,
That you may feel me as the leaves sway in a breeze.
I am grateful for the grace you gift.

Thank you sweet Mother Earth.
I am blessed knowing I am really never a motherless child.

Prayer for A Hurricane

I pray to thee, oh Mother Earth, Father Sky, and whirling winds of the Four Directions. Calling all forces to protect and care for the winged ones over the waters, the creatures who's life is spent in the Ocean deep, following upon her Tides. To watch over those who's lives are spent making a Life for family from the bounty of the Great Seas, and those who's job it is to keep them safe.
Be gentle sweet Ocean Storm, let not our Fear feed you, feel the love and gentle hearts that embrace you. Let us weep for what has been lost, wash clean all Hatred. Leave in your wake the treasure of Peace and Acceptance toward our fellow inhabitants of the Universe.
I am grateful for this opportunity to feel, your tears, I am humbled in your wake.
I request and pray that all may find Safe Harbour. That those who's life you may take find their way home, across the bridge.

Dreamtime Prayer

Guide me Grandmother Moon, Star Nation
In the language of dreams.
I walk in this gift of the Night
Guide me to the Wisdom,
In this Dreamtime passage.
A mingling of the day and the night.
Neither more real.

The time I am given in the Wonder.

There is a slow gentle waking this morning
Thank you.

I wish to Pray, Live
Compassion, Hope and Kindness
A gentleness of Being.

May I leave a trace of Stardust today
No mark of harm.

There is a slow gentle waking to this day.

May the moon softly restore you by night
May the rain wash away your worries
May the breeze blow new strength into your being
May you walk gently through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life

Sunday Morning Welcome

Good Morning Sunday!
Welcome Sun, rising from the ocean.

A day to sing and dance a new song of being.
What will I sing?
I wish to sing a song of Gratitude.
I wish to sing a song of Friends.
I wish to sing a song of Health.
Will I dance with the sway of the Earth?
My steps in time with Joy?
Or will they be in time with Sorrow?

Good Morning Sunday
Welcome to this day.
What song I sing the day will tell as it unfolds.
For I am filled with the wonder of Friends,
A Gratefulness of Being.
I sing and pray Health for loved ones.

I desire my steps in dance to keep time
With the moment.
Joy and Sorrow, Laughter and Tears
In the moment of Being.
I am here to experience all the day has to offer.

Welcome Sunday Morning.
Good Morning.
Come let us sing and dance with the day.
Thank you for this day.
Welcome Sunday Morning.

Guide me toward my Compassionate Heart.
I find it toward others, yet the struggle
Compassion for myself.

Filled with your story, I too
Will guide others toward their Compassionate Heart.

Full- When Things Ripen Moon

La Luna,
I watch as you rise.
Pink full with promise,
What stories do you have to share?

La Luna,
It is past the middle of summer
I believe some call you the Pink Moon.
Others When Things Ripen Moon.

La Luna,
What now is ripening ~ there are many Earth Changes
You dance across the sky,
As I howl in wonder!

La Luna,
La Luna, sing us a song
Share with us the stories
As you dance across the sky!
