Prayers
Of
Thanks
When we thank someone, something happens. The receiver gets the gift of thanks, but the giver is also changed by the act of thanking. How many times have I heard a parent saying to a child “What do you say?” and the kid grumpily replies “thank you” with utter umbrage. If only they knew… something a bit magical happens when we speak words of gratitude… something lovely and inexplicable.
Three Times Thank You Prayer
When I say Thank you
I say those words three times
Firstly, I say Thank you
To myself, my body, mind
And dancing spirit
Secondly, I say Thank you
To the world – the air, fire, earth and water
And the astral cosmos beyond
Thirdly, I say Thank you
To that which is unknown
Swathed in mystery
Divine and loved
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
