A Prayer (A Stone).

Lord,
I asked you who I am,
You showed me a tiny stone,
I held it,
looked at it in the sun
and in the water,
and wondered at all its color,
its smooth parts,
and its jagged, broken side.
I tried to polish it,
and returned it to thee,
hoping you would touch it,
and make it shine.

Lord,
that is what I am.
I see it,
and I believe
You see it too.

I am me.

Living, breathing,

Being what I what I want to be.

Me.

Sky Above, Earth Below

Here I stand,
Here I kneel,
Here I am.

Above me is the sky,
Day and night,
Sun, moon, and stars.

Around me is all life,
Mostly wet,
Mostly green.

Below me is the Earth,
Rock and soil,
Becoming me.

Here I stand,
Here I kneel,
Here I am.
