Prayer

 

Some days, although we cannot pray, a prayer

utters itself. So, a woman will lift

her head from the sieve of her hands and stare

at the minims sung by a tree, a sudden gift.

 

Some nights, although we are faithless, the truth

enters our hearts, that small familiar pain;

then a man will stand stock-still, hearing his youth

in the distant Latin chanting of a train.

 

Pray for us now. Grade 1 piano scales

console the lodger looking out across

a Midlands town. Then dusk, and someone calls

a child's name as though they named their loss.

 

Darkness outside. Inside, the radio's prayer -

Rockall. Malin. Dogger. Finisterre.

You who raise a prayer

from your shady and safe haven

beyond the blue texture of that sky

there is no god who can listen to you

 

I plunge my hands in the dust

in vain searching for other hands

but sharp stones and lifeless bodies

hurt my weak flesh

 

It is useless to cry or curse

the guardian angels have fled

it's just you and me now

abandoned in the midst of the universe

The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.

Unburden your worries !

We visited Jasper National Park back in July of this year. This view was just outside our cabin. I ventured about ten yards to this point as the evening was fast ahead. Little did I know a coyote would soon pass this spot about one minute right after I left. We saw him from our cabin window as he passed right by.

There are some major fires going on in the national park currently. A lightning strike on Sept 1st was the cause. My heart and prayers are with those up in that area.

Like a Prayer

Madonna

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone

I hear you call my name

And it feels like home

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel your power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing

I have no choice, I hear your voice

Feels like flying

I close my eyes, Oh God I think I'm falling

Out of the sky, I close my eyes

Heaven help me

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel your power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Like a child you whisper softly to me

You're in control just like a child

Now I'm dancing

It's like a dream, no end and no beginning

You're here with me, it's like a dream

Let the choir sing

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel your power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

When you call my name it's like a little prayer

I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there

In the midnight hour I can feel a power

Just like a prayer you know I'll take you there

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone

I hear you call my name

And it feels like home

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery

Just like a dream, you are not what you seem

Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there

It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there

It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there

It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there

It's like a dream to me

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery

Just like a dream, you are not what you seem

Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there

Just like a muse to me, you are a mystery

Just like a dream, you are not what you seem

Just like a prayer, no choice your voice can take me there

Your voice can take me there, just like a prayer

The Kyodo news agency reported so far, at least 32 people in Japan have been killed and an unknown number injured by the 8.9-magnitude quake and tsunami. But the sheer scale of the devastation suggests that the final death toll will be much higher.

Holy dip and offering to the sun god!

The Eyes Of The Witnesses - Prayers For Ukraine by Daniel Arrhakis (2022)

 

A people left to their fate with only the hope in the arms of a new generation that only wanted to live in freedom... the whole world could do much more... it is the world's conscience in the face of barbarism that is at stake!

"La preghiera non è un ozioso passatempo per vecchie signore. Propriamente compresa e applicata, è lo strumento d’azione più potente."

 

"Prayer is not a lazy pastime for old ladies. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action."

There are many things that can not be prevented.

Still, they pray that they are not.
