Heartbeat of Existence,
You have infused our lives
With interconnections
Among living beings
And with our environment:
Stars, Sun, and Moon,
Land, Oceans, Seas, Rivers and Lakes
Forests and gardens
Homes in which we dwell
Buildings that contain provisions for our survival
Holy spaces where we gather for spiritual contemplation
Whether within rooms with ornate walls and ceilings to inspire us
Or out in nature where miracles transpire every moment.
Sometimes we miss the point of our place
In this network that envelops us.
The answer, we may believe, is in what we sense from the world outside.
That is only partially true.
For the remainder of our purpose,
We need only look inside
Where our openness, humility, and wonder reside
and work in concert
To fashion our response
To the gifts of this amazing life.
May our heart beat with a rhythm
Filled with spirit and hope
So that our constant becoming
Will enhance the circle of creation
That is renewed every single day.
