“And did you get what/you wanted from this life, even so?/ I
did/ And what did you want?/to call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the
earth.” -Raymond Carver

A prayer by "Ann" called, “The Holiness that Pervades this
Universe”.

Oh Holiest of all Holy’s

I pray for the molecules of me

To be reconstituted new, inseparably part of you

Part of this wholeness, this awareness

I pray to radiate at the same wave length as the beating of
your heart

To see as you see

 To hear with your
ears

 To feel the texture
of trust as you do

 May I dissolve into
you

 Free at last to know  

All my words, thoughts and actions as arising from praise or
longing

 May I know my essential
being as awareness and love

May you know yourself as beloved all the days of your life.

Note: this prayer was shared in an audio podcast by Tara Brach
called, “Longing to Belong” at tarabrach.com
