prayer

…Be awake to the Life
That is loving you and
Sing your prayer, laugh your prayer,
Dance your prayer, run
And weep and sweat your prayer,
Sleep your prayer, eat your prayer,
Sweep, dig, rake, drive and hoe your prayer,
Garden and farm and build and clean your prayer,
Wash, iron, vacuum, sew, embroider and pickle your prayer,
Compute, touch, bend and fold but never delete your prayer.
Learn and play your prayer,
Work and rest your prayer,
Fast and feast your prayer,
Argue, talk, whisper, listen and shout your prayer,
Groan and moan and spit and sneeze your prayer,
Swim and hunt and cook your prayer,
Digest and become your prayer,
Release and recover your prayer,
Breathe your prayer,
Be your prayer.
