Pacific Prayer




Peer into the ocean through a fisheye-boil over the rising tide.

Starry fish scales shimmer through waves breaking. A grain of Lahontan wilderness sparkles for a moment. Or maybe it’s the Finn of a transplanted cousin.

Earth and water embrace Life here.

Let Humility flow through you.

Remember family, past sadness to hopeful future.

Enjoy bread’s sweet smell before tasting it.

Let the sweet pup rest his weary head on your lap before waking him with a stroke.

Watch the sun setting, but do not look directly at it.

Treat people at work with respect and honor, and take pride in their achievements.

Thank yourself for being where you are.

Thank others for being with you.

Give special thanks for little sisters.

Allow a Regal Penguin to fill your mind. Smell its cold, stiff feathers in the spiking wind. Shake a laugh to imagine a Penguin’s love. Now open your eyes and be home.

Embody Grace.
