Prayers
Of
Compassion
The very best sentiment to go for has to be compassion, for ourselves, for others, for everyone. Maybe it’s the one ambition we should always hold in our hearts. It’s not easy to be compassionate all the time, but it has to be the highest goal in life. A world full of compassion would be free of war, poverty and environmental degradation… how beautiful.
To be held
Wherever one may be
One is held
Alone
One may feel solitary
Yet one is held
Like a hermit crab
In a shell
One is held
Like a butterfly
In a cocoon
One is held
Like a babe
In arms
One is held
Alone on a mountain
One is held
There are forces of love
That know us
Care for us
See us
For what we are
Sociable creatures –
Isolated souls –
Arrogant individuals –
Vulnerable and human
We are all that
And more
Us spiritual beings
And all of us…
Are held
Breathe in love
Breathe out carbon dioxide
Breathe in mystery
And then
Let us accept
We are held
