Prayer For Love by Nell Aurelia. 2015

May I taste the wisdom of the stars,

And be reborn in the heart of the fire,

May I dance like the flames..

May the roaming winds cup my ancestor’s words to my ears

And may I find a mother’s love in the salty embrace of the ocean.

May I act with integrity,

May love be the root of all my communications,

Even when I am offered something different.

May I know every encounter is soul sanctioned/blessed/approved

And contains a gift so I may learn and grow

May I remember this as often as I can

And may I be gentle with myself when I forget.

May I remember it only ever takes a heartbeat to return, to change course, to transform.

May the path be firm beneath my feet,

And the moon’s blessings envelop me always, however clouded the sky or bright the sun.

May self-care and acceptance be the seeds I sow,

May their growth be the model my daughters learn from.

May I remember that all I do in meeting my shadow

And ending old patterns from past generations,

Clears and cleanses the way ahead for my children, my line,

Brings me peace and honours my ancestors and their gift of living.

May I return to joy again and again,

However I may need to express my anger, my grief, my sadness, my distraction and uncertainty:

May I return always to my birthright of joy.

May I know I am love,

May all beings know they are too.

May we return to knowing oneness,

To rising, diving, spiralling in unity.

May the sun light our hearts

And may our dreams be true.

May we know simply:

We are love

And anything is possible.
