Summer light calling…

PRAYER

Come, come to the source of the lengthening days

The light-giver around us and within us

There at the beginning of time

Here in this present moment

Come, come feel the light and warmth on our bodies

Softening us, opening us, growing us

That we might mirror the beauty and wonder

Of the natural world abundantly growing around us

Come, come feel sparks of life within

The gifts of insight, of imagination, illuminating

The touch of communion with another, transforming

The feeling of unity with creation absorbing, expanding

Come, come

May we treasure light this summer

Willing to get up and see some dawns;

Taking time to be with the sunset

Allowing these times of changing light

To feed our awareness of the light within;

The liturgy of nature supporting, enabling, enfolding

Finding space for ‘holy’ days, for sacred times

To nourish our souls, to lighten our spirits

Knowing ourselves connecting to the light of all being

Entrusting ourselves to the living light

Come, come those of you weary with the hassles of life

You whose lives are stretched and hard

Those who find themselves out of balance

You who are broken-hearted

Come, come, feel the light

Breathe in the energy of summer

Let new dawns rise within you

Resting, restoring and refreshing your spirits

Come, come and know yourself

As part of God’s on-going abundant creation

Receiving, growing, giving

May light flow in and through you – radiating life…birthing joy
